Frans’s lookalike story started about 20 years ago at the Natour criterion in Diksmuide, but now it has been enough. “I stop because the feeling has completely disappeared. I don’t like that anymore, “says Frans. “Every week I have to turn my hair black and maintain my sideburns. I also had to train 200 kilometers a day to match Eddy Merckx. I quit. “
Yet he looks back with pleasure on his years as a lookalike. “People always shouted” Eddy! ” When they saw me. I liked that. It has been nice. “
