Albert Van Damme

Albert "Berten" Van Damme (born 1 December 1940) is a former Belgian cyclo-crosser. He won more than 400 individual races, became six times Belgian National Champion and once World Champion, in 1974. His career lasted from 1959 till 1978.

He was active in the same years as the brothers Eric and Roger De Vlaeminck. Together with his own brother, Daniël Van Damme there was a bit of a "battle" between the two families.

The first Albert Van Damme A-cyclocross race was held in October 2011 and was won by Sven Nys.
