In his second year as a professional cyclist, Ferdinand "Ferdi" Bracke would pair with Walter Boucquet to ride the 2-up team time trial Trofeo Angelo Baracchi which was held in November of 1963. Bracke is seen here participating in that very event where he and Boucquet would ultimately place third behind the teams of Joseph Velly / Joseph Novales and Jacques Anquetil / Raymond Poulidor.
