Eric Vanderaerden is a retired Belgian road cyclist, a considerable talent who won the prologue of the Vuelta a España in his debut year of 1983. At the 1983 Tour de France he won the prologue and wore the yellow jersey for two days, in 1984 he won two stages including the final one on the Champs-Elysées, and in 1985 he beat the eventual winner Bernard Hinault in a time trial. He won the green jersey in 1986. His two monument wins were the storm-hit 1985 Tour of Flanders and the 1987 Paris-Roubaix, but his career declined after 1988. Later he led semi-professional teams and became a directeur sportif, and in 2022 a VIP driver for Alpecin-Deceuninck.
