...been on top-or near it-for twelve years is Belgium's hawknosed Rik Van Looy. To his fans, Van Looy is "the Emperor." To his competitors, he is "the Devil." Badge of the Fastest. At 28, an age at which cyclists were once considered washed up, Van Looy is at his peak, winner of more races (323) than any other cyclist in the world.
