Several meritorious individuals and organizations were also honored. Centered around a ‘cycling’ theme, the presentation was hosted in both national languages by Maarten Vangramberen, VRT sports journalist. The start of each session was heralded by the familiar ‘Rodania’ tune, and the laureates received a yellow jersey, a green jersey, and a polka dot jersey (= Tour de France). The coffee break featured a ‘refreshment stop’, where every guest leaving the hall toward the catering area received a bag containing a banana, an apple, a nut mix with sultanas, an energy bar, a miniature cyclist, and some sponsor brochures.

Following the presentations, the anniversary was celebrated with an evening party featuring drinks and appetizers, where attendees mingled and danced enthusiastically.
