Willy "Rupske" Lauwers was a Belgian professional cyclist. He was born in Hemiksem, Belgium. Lauwers owned his nickname to the way he moved on his bicycle like a caterpillar, rocking and wriggling. In addition, thanks to his agility on the bike, he managed to maneuver through the smallest gaps in the peloton.
