Etienne De Wilde

Cycling Disciplines

Etienne De Wilde is a Belgian former professional cyclist, born in 1958 in Wetteren in East Flanders. He started out as a road racer and went on to win races both on the road and on the track, and it is on the track that he left his clearest mark. At the 2000 Summer Olympics he won the silver medal in the madison, a track event raced by two-rider teams who share the work of the race and take turns riding. That Olympic result is the highest honour of a career that spanned the road and the velodrome, and it places him among the Belgian medallists in Olympic cycling.
