Lorrenzo Manzin’s bike joins the AfricAntilles Vélo Passion exhibition

The island of Réunion takes on an even greater presence at the Maison du Cyclisme Liège-Bastogne-Liège! Thanks to Lilian Lebreton and Team TotalEnergies, Lorrenzo Manzin’s bike is now part of our temporary exhibition “AfricAntilles Vélo Passion” in Remouchamps.

This new exhibit puts the Réunion-born rider in the spotlight and further illustrates the diversity of the journeys presented in the exhibition.

A meeting with Team TotalEnergies during Liège-Bastogne-Liège

During Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2026, the Maison du Cyclisme welcomed the French professional cycling squad Team TotalEnergies. This meeting was made possible through the owner of Le Menobu hotel and restaurant in La Reid, where the team has stayed for several years.

Discussions with the team, particularly with sports director Lilian Lebreton, soon led to valuable collaborations celebrating cycling heritage.

From the 1965 Tour de Liège leader’s jersey to Lorrenzo Manzin’s bike

These connections had already enabled us to receive and display the 1965 Tour de Liège leader’s jersey worn by Lilian Lebreton’s father.

Today, this collaboration continues with the arrival of Lorrenzo Manzin’s training bike, which he also raced on in 2025. This ENVE Melee now joins the exhibits presented in “AfricAntilles Vélo Passion”.

Cycling on Réunion in the spotlight in Remouchamps

Through this bike, visitors can discover a tangible connection to the career of Lorrenzo Manzin, a professional cyclist originally from Réunion.

Its presence also highlights the island’s contribution to top-level cycling, both on the road and on the track, with riders such as Donovan Grondin, another prominent figure in cycling on Réunion.

Lorrenzo Manzin’s bike adds another perspective to our exhibition, which explores the stories, encounters and connections linking cycling to these regions.

A new exhibit to discover at the Maison du Cyclisme

A heartfelt thank you to Lilian Lebreton and the entire TotalEnergies team for their support and their contribution to enriching our collections!

Come and discover Lorrenzo Manzin’s bike and the “AfricAntilles Vélo Passion” exhibition at the Maison du Cyclisme Liège-Bastogne-Liège in Remouchamps, until the end of 2026.
