The full programme for Cycling Evening Cycle 1 is now available: book your place!

A successful second evening thanks to Tom Paquot’s enthusiasm

Two “Cycling Evening” events, two speakers, two completely different atmospheres… yet the same success.

After Maxime Monfort, known for his insightful analysis and legendary composure, it was Tom Paquot who captivated the audience at the second talk. With his natural enthusiasm, spontaneity and wealth of anecdotes, he brought a different kind of energy that the audience thoroughly enjoyed.

Once again, the audience, made up of passionate and knowledgeable cycling fans, took an active part in the conversation. Discussions unfolded in a relaxed atmosphere, covering a variety of topics, all connected to our guest for the evening. Thank you, Tom Paquot, for such an engaging and successful evening!

This second event also gave our partner Velonews the opportunity to interview our guest before the talk. During this special conversation, Tom Paquot reflected on his career, his plans and his latest news.
👉 The full interview will soon be available on both our social media channels.

Ludivine Henrion, a leading figure in women’s cycling in Wallonia, joins us for the next Cycling Evening

A two-time Belgian champion and a true pioneer of women’s cycling in Wallonia, Ludivine Henrion has left her mark on Belgian sport through her dedication and achievements. She spearheaded the development of a structured women’s cycling programme in Wallonia and now leads Minimax Cycling Team, the only Continental team funded exclusively by Walloon investment.

At the next Cycling Evening talk, we will look back with her on the highlights of her career, including her participation in the London 2012 Olympic Games. Most of the evening, however, will focus on the current state of women’s cycling in Wallonia, Belgium and internationally. A unique opportunity to explore today’s challenges, the prospects for developing women’s cycling and the role of regional organisations in shaping its future.
