Merckx

Delve into the heart of the Eddy Merckx legend. Five Tours de France, five Giros d’Italia, three World Championships, one Vuelta, seven Milan–San Remos, three Paris–Roubaix, not to mention the legendary Hour Record in Mexico… From 1967 to 1975, Eddy Merckx won everything, devouring it all, leaving nothing to his rivals.
