These guys blew it ''BIG TIME!''..with the Clement name! I mentioned it here once before! First year of the MERCKX DOMO TEAM! Paris Roubaix! They swept the podium ........What was the choice of tire for EDDY for this race, ( MATCH! ) Clement.....The week before the introduction of the team I was at the factory............I was talking to Henry a warehouse manager, he said look there, Clement Paris Roubaix! He said they will be used for the Match of Paris Roubaix!............I brought this up with the guys at Clement, till this day I have never received a reply.
Instead of using this as a maketing tool for Clement, they decided to let it waddle in the water!
