AD Renting (All-Drie Renting) was a Belgian professional cycling team that existed from 1987 to 1989.[3][4][5]

Tour de France

Despite it's short history and lack of funds,[6] the team was very successful in the Tour de France. Eddy Planckaert won the points classification in 1988[7] to go with the victory he achieved in the highly regarded monument the Tour of Flanders earlier that year.[8]

The biggest success however was when Greg LeMond won the 1989 Tour de France with the team, taking three stage victories in the process.[9]
