who emile daems is
Emile Daems was a Belgian professional road racing cyclist whose career burned brightly for just six full professional seasons yet left an indelible mark on the sport. Small in stature but immense in spirit, he won three of the five Monuments of Cycling: Milan–San Remo, Paris–Roubaix, and the Giro di Lombardia. A gifted sprinter with a fiercely independent streak, Daems often rode against the grain of team orders, forging his own legend in an era dominated by the iron will of Rik Van Looy.
