1962, Belgian Comics: Zonneland Vol 43 N° 41

On 14 October 1962, issue 41 of volume 43 of the youth magazine Zonneland was published by Goede Pers Averbode. The Catholic youth magazine Zonneland was first published in 1920 by the Norbertine Abbey of Averbode.

Zonneland Vol 43 N°41 Cover

In December 1958, Zonneland was split into two magazines: Zonneland, which from then on targeted the final three years of primary school, and the newly created Zonnekind, which focused on the first three years. In 1966, the magazines were restructured once again. Zonneland would now be aimed solely at pupils in the fifth and sixth years of primary education, while the new magazine Zonnestraal would cater to those in the third and fourth years. In April 2022, Goede Pers Averbode was taken over by the publisher Plantyn, which discontinued the magazines in 2024.

1977, Sport: Tour of Flanders

The 61st edition of the Tour of Flanders was held on 3 April 1977, covering a distance of 260 km. For the first time, the race started in Sint-Niklaas, having previously begun in Ghent until 1976. The finish was in Meerbeke. The winner's average speed was 39.207 km/h. Of the 167 riders who started, only 26 reached the finish line.

Freddy Maertens and Roger De Vlaeminck

Eddy Merckx, aiming for a third victory in his home classic, attacked early in the race and tackled the first climbs at the head of the field. Freddy Maertens suffered a puncture on the Koppenberg and received a bike from a spectator, who pushed him all the way up the climb. Race officials instructed Maertens to abandon, but he ignored the order on the advice of his team manager, Lomme Driessens. Roger De Vlaeminck launched a pursuit of Merckx on the Koppenberg but punctured shortly afterwards and was caught by the returning Maertens. After the Taaienberg, a leading trio formed—De Vlaeminck, Maertens, and Merckx—holding a gap over the peloton. On the Varent climb, 70 km from the finish, a struggling Merckx was dropped by his companions and would ultimately abandon the race. In the end, De Vlaeminck outsprinted Maertens to take the victory.

Eddy Merckx, Freddy Maertens and Roger De Vlaeminck

Maertens was disqualified for making an illegal bike change and for doping (amphetamine Stimul). Walter Planckaert, who had finished third, was also disqualified for doping (amphetamine Stimul). Guy Sibille, who placed 12th, was disqualified for failing to report to the anti-doping control.
