C&A was a Belgian professional cycling team that existed in 1978. The team was formed after the Fiat France team ended the previous season.[1] It was sponsored by Dutch clothing retailer C&A, who only came into the sport to sponsor a team that had Eddy Merckx on its roster. Merckx, who had ridden with Fiat France, was at the end of his career and he quit the team in March 1978.[2]
