@@sirehan1002no he doesn't. There is no USoNAan within the top 10 sports legends. Eddy is light years in front as the greatest athlete ever. Next to him is Jahanghir Khan of Pakistan, and Heather MacKay of Australia, both unbeaten squash players. ALi is a long way from these legends.
Merckx attacked where he wanted. He also set the World Hour Record. He once described cycling as shaking off self-torture. And its clear to see how deep that feeling was
There really wasn’t much here that showed his legendary status, but from a young age I was taught never to compare or judge anyone by the standards of this man. I think I’ll still take their word for it
The sport was so pure back then. Something magical about the mystery about how riders attained their fitness, the wife’s tales they worshipped. How hard they trained. Now it’s all a very exact science, it’s lost that mystery and surprise.
Mercks's wife said in "The stars and water carriers " film that he did 250 km a day out training on the bike. The Big tours were a lot longer in total distance in the 1960 & 1970 , the tour De France was at least 1000km longer in 1969 than the 2020 The Tours have got shorter and shorter over the decades and that is the main reason why the average overall speeds have gone up today. Pro riders were as hard a nails back in the 50s & 60s and the pre war era .

@@andy199121 Yes the riders pre WW1 were completely "on their own" no support cars, even if their frame broke they had to find a blacksmith and the rider had to weld the frame themselves the blacksmith could not help them .

Eddy Merckx 525 career victories , who is the closest and how many victories does that second most successful rider have ? Merckx is not one of the greatest bike riders of all time .......he IS the greatest bike rider that will ever be by a long long way, remember 525, nobody even comes close to 525 .
@Not Even Ted ahaha. Lance is not even close to Merckx's talent. He had to focus on Le Tour to win those 7 titles. Merckx was able to win any type of race all year long.
Le roi eddy merckx le plus coureur cycliste de tout les temps sans égale et pour l éternité. Eddy merckx la légende bien vivante peut constaté qu' il est toujours le plus grand car son palmarès en 2023 n est toujours pas et ces pas dmain l aveil qui soit égalé . Eddy 525 victoires qui dit mieu.........évidemment personne.
Este hombre, antes de estrenar en la bicicleta. ¿PENSÁIS QUE HACIA LA BARBARIDAD DE NO DESAYUNAR ? El que tiene cualidades, con trabajo esfuerzo y motivación triunfa.
This bike was really easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
But Armstrong was a prolific doper who only targeted the TDF who forced people around him ( his team) to comply with by using a stick. Of course without his team he would have been nowhere. In Eddy’s case , he did win and in convincing most of the other classics several times over.
What? Lance can piss off. He was talented, I wont deny that, but doped to the gills and bullying other cyclists into doping... That is not cycling anymore, he deserved what he got.
@@jamesmeisel4723 I believe you got caught 3 times. It was said during 2021 TDF. Nobody dominated like Armstrong, without question the best stretch ever in professional cycling. Get over yourself.
No No Eddy was pure guts,strength and Stamina. He won on its merits. No stimulants. That noise could make anyone climb a Mountain. 🚲 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚑🚲🚲🚲🚲🚓🚲🚲🚲🚲🚑🚲🚲
Greatest sportsman ever, but without the media attention of others.
Really!! 3 x test positive!
@@tomazvidmar5653 he means ali
@tomazvidmar5653 WRONG!!!! On each occasion he went to court and was cleared, so NO. Stop telling lies.
@@sirehan1002no he doesn't. There is no USoNAan within the top 10 sports legends. Eddy is light years in front as the greatest athlete ever. Next to him is Jahanghir Khan of Pakistan, and Heather MacKay of Australia, both unbeaten squash players. ALi is a long way from these legends.
@@markhill9275seeing this now, the cycling competition is easier back then
We also need to remember that the Tour de France is 1000km shorter in 2020 than it was in 1969 and the Merckx era.
@der Führer What do you mean when you say "riders like Merckx could isolate for long times in stages " ?
@der Führer, agree, nowadays the whole team is doped.
Merckx attacked where he wanted.
He also set the World Hour Record.
He once described cycling as shaking off self-torture. And its clear to see how deep that feeling was
A Merckx attack was an attack to win, everyone shat themselves when he decided to go.
There really wasn’t much here that showed his legendary status, but from a young age I was taught never to compare or judge anyone by the standards of this man. I think I’ll still take their word for it
No one sprints like Eddy, no one climbs like Eddy, no wins all the time trials like Eddy.
Pour moi le plus Grand coureur cycliste de tous les temps !
Merckx - Indurain- Anquetil, le podioum.
@@janarnaud8058 Hinault est devant Indurain et Anquetil
No ha habido,ni habrá un ciclista como el gran Eddy Merckx.
Super !.. Super Champion Eddy
Those hills are killer on your legs and yet Merckx makes it look easy. Nice clips.
i love the music. Eddy Merckx rocks.
Very strong pictures. Great man.

I was lucky enough to own a tdf race bike frame #32 by his bike builder Ferdi Kessels. The bike was Awesome
There will never be a cyclist again who is as dominant in bunch sprints as they are in the mountains
There will be no rider more dope than eddy
If there was mountain bikes contest in his era, I’m sure he would dominate it too. He is made for cycling.
Grande Eddy !!! One of the best ever ! If not the greatest ever ! Can’t believe they didn’t had head protection !!! Haha

😂 3 keer betrapt op doping, jaja de beste wielrenner ooit😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He may be the best, but in the TDF, Armstrong is King with 7 titles and probably would have been 9 if he didn't retire.
