Zoetemelk about 'cycling friend' Van Agt: 'He not only came for the yellow jersey, but every year'

For Joop Zoetemelk, the last Dutch winner of the Tour de France in 1980, former Prime Minister Dries van Agt was much more than just a fan. “He was a cycling friend, but above all a supporter of the entire sport of cycling. Not just from me, but from everyone who cycled. And he was also a sportsman and cyclist himself, of course.”
