Wow, really cool to see Eddy interview Johan! I especially appreciate how Eddy lets Johan speak almost uninterrupted and chips in only now and then with a brief comment....
haha
A very intelligent comment, I agree.
Johan blew that aspect. Eddy spoke approximately 20% of this interview
And about half the interview is about Pogačar lol
@Forested-pz9cp I agree with you. It's a pity, I normally really enjoy listening to Johan's insights on The Move. But here, he didn't manage to switch into the role of the interviewer.
Eddy watching Johan go on and on and on and on and on was priceless …. 😂
Thank you Johann and the entire Wedu team. I loved hearing Eddy talk about his rival Felice Gimondi. What a class act. Definitely a bygone era.
What a great interview of this legend,Johan! Thanks for sharing with us.
Eddy seems like a very humble man. Thanks for posting this.👍
Truly LEGENDARY! Thank you for this interview! As soon as I saw the video, I immediately stopped evertying and watched this to listen to this legendary interview. Despite I only read the translation, I could still learn about such wonderful career Eddy had and his perspective outside cycling and what he did after his pro career. Thanks WeDu Team for such opportunity to learn more about these legends in Cycling
Wow. What a great idea - get a Belgian to interview Eddy Merckx. So glad The Move produced this one. How cycling has changed since this man stormed the pro-cycling world.
I raced as an Intermediate & Junior in the USCF in the late 60's & 70's. I know my friends & I idolized Eddy. It was Merckx Mania for our whole cycling team. So wonderful to see him & he's doing well! 👍🏻🚵🏼🙏🏼😇💯🇧🇪🇺🇲
Eddy has truly left his footprints in the sand, his achievements will not be repeated in the modern world of bike racing,.
They got the legend of legends, simply unreal!
Absolute legend Eddie! You were the best out there!❤
Tx for the interview!
he seems like such a humble and nice guy!!! Good one WEDU!! Best cycling content out there
I met Eddy at the World Cycling Centre back in 2004 when I was a Stagiaire there. He was super friendly and stopped to exchange a few words and shook my hand. Wished I had a smart phone back then to take a wefie. In 2001/2002 I was training and living in San Diego and had a chance to ride a few times with Axel as we had mutual friends. Super down to earth like his dad. Met Lance when I was a Jr racing the Lance Armstrong Jr race series back in 1998. He was nice enough to take a photo with us. Met Cipollini back in 2012 at Interbike after party. He hit on my now ex wife. And I was in awe. lol
FML - Thank you so much for this!
Qué buena entrevista de belga a belga..!!! 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪 👏👏👏👏
Johan, shhh!
I have an Alpe d'Huez cycling cap signed by Eddy merckx and also signed by Lance Armstrong. To me, it's priceless. 2 of the greatest cyclists of all time.
Not sure about Armstrong, I would rather say Merckx and Hinault, in that order.
Great to hear Johann speak!
A legend of cycling and sport in general, an amazing athlete, always great to listen to him and also nice to have Eddy Merckx too!
What a great interview of Johan Bruyneel. With Eddy in a cameo role.
I’m glad to have seen the champion live during several stages of his last Tour de France in 1977.
That’s when i decided to do bike racing !
He had a huge impact on our generation
This man is all class.
I am so glad this showed up on my recommended page! Eddy Merckx, cycling legend! Even to this day, some racers (ex: Pogacar, MVDP) are touted as "the new" or "modern day Eddy Merckx," but we all know there is only one, and no one will ever come close to doing what Eddy did during the course of his career. And I did not recognize Johan Bruyneel until he said his name. But then I haven't seen him since the whole Lance Armstrong thing went down. And I used to have a poster of Patrick Sercu and teammate on the track. Can't remember where the heck I got it, nor what happened to it.
The great Johan Bruyneel gets to muse about Eddy Merkx. The prop next to him tries to interrupt him from time to time but fortunately Johan shuts him down quickly
Eddy speaks 10% of the time
To hear Eddy speak, go to 5.53.
Wow! Spectacular interview.
Johan can learn another lesson from Eddy Merckx: how to listen more than talk. I really would have liked to hear from Eddy more than we do hear from Johan.
What a Legend! It is a different time with different programs. Need to remember that the length of the races have changed quite a bit over the years.
It's wonderful to see a 78-year-old champion with a clear mind who still shows passion for cycling, chapeau 🇧🇪.
In today's cycling, more and more attention is focused on the safety of cyclists, it would be interesting to hear his opinion on how safe cycling was in his time compared to today and how he imagines the future of cycling if the trend of increasing exposure to the dangers that cyclists face, continued. I don't just mean high speeds and obviously incomplete braking systems, which should provide better braking control and consequently greater safety for cyclists, or poorly protected sections of the route, but also increasing exposure to weather extremes. We've seen cyclists freeze to extremes on the bike, and we've seen cyclists burn out on the bike due to extreme heat. This trend will only intensify, we can expect the record high temperatures at TDF this year. How responsible is it to organize races in such extreme conditions, and wouldn't it be time to move the calendars of important races to the temperature of a more suitable periods? You don't race in winter for a reason, nor should you race in the middle of the summer, because it leaves long-term health consequences on cyclists whose metabolism is constantly subjected to maximum efforts. According to you, an institution would be necessary to provide a greater shield to cyclists against the aggressive industry and race organizers? Such an influential person in the world of cycling as you are, should have an opinion on this issue and direct the attention of decision-makers in favor of cyclists, we all lose when a cyclist is injured, if I just limit myself to what brings us all pleasure and not pain.
Mooi! Heel goed dat jullie Eddy op deze manier eren!
I wanted to hear an Eddy interview, and I found Johan talking non-stop about Eddy...
An interviewer must let his guest do the talking..
I stopped at 15 min.. Couldn't even finished..
Very cool. Thank you
6 minutes in and Merckx has only had the chance to grunt
As an interviewer, one should always consider why you have one mouth and to ears.
The Move is unstoppable now!
thanks for the interview
I’m happy this was done in my native language (wouldn’t have expected it to be anything else but Flemish tbf), cause lots of times the translation of key words is really poor.
Anyway, love this stuff! Same for the Hinault episode. Love Johan as well. 👌
Super Johan conocer de este profesional sobresaliente del ciclismo mundial , saludos
Love the story about Joop Zoetemelk, who, as a team manager, failed to understand that his riders got dropped on climbs of only the 2nd category.
Wowww JOHAN!! You Are The Best!! How many languages do you speak? And Very Well!!👏👏👏👏👏
He speaks like 5 languages.
This is his native tongue.

Johan's IQ must be off the charts. the professor of cycling!
@@dickieblench5001wow that's impressive
Eddy used to love to play cards.... Read it in a few books. At the 1991 Tour de France, I rode all the stages ahead of the Race. I met Eddy there & I had a deck of cards, it got his attention, and I said pick a card you identify with & sign it... Guess what-
Ace of Clubs
Probably a homage to Colnago.
Hinault signed the Ace of Spades....
Polidor - all the 2s
Anderson Jokers
Cycling 🚲 legend 👍👍✌️
Great interview, That's the first time I've heard Eddy speak.
That could explain Johans approach…hmm. Maybe that’s why he’s talking so/to much
Eddy !!!!!
Chapeau!
thanks a lot for this
The strongest rider and athlete in history of sport..in my opinion
Using doping....many times ask Google!
@@ronachterberg9264 Piss off.
WOOOOW. YA A VERLO..
Tengo algo de eddy.. naci un 17 de junio😅
Johan, work on being a good listener. Short quick question with a point. Work on less story telling to get to the questions. I look forward to more Legends interviews.
this is why this podcast is fundamental
Johan is good but he talked more than Eddie, unfortunate.
Nice! ...how come you didnot ask about the days of Pantini???
Eddie starts to talk at the 38:30 mark...
do another one, longer and more about eddy
Fantastic.. that you .. 😊
THE GREAT, the only one still today !!!
Johan, Geepers give Eddy a chance.
Try this...skip at any time in the interview and Johan will be on nonstop😅...still good to see Eddy
Johan is obviously talking to his idol - give him a break - he's excited.
Johan spoke 75% of the time, Eddy 25%. That was terrible Johan!! Dont share YOUR stories and opinions, we wanted to hear a lot more of his!! Please do part 2, like this
OMG! MERCKX!
Pidieron poner los subtitulos en Español !! Igual gracias por compartir. Mis respetos para el mas grande de todos tiempos. A medida que avanza la tecnología en el ciclismo y salen mas ciclistas superdotados, apoyados en estos avances, mas grande se hace la leyenda de El Canibal !!

Busque en TH-cam esa opcion que usted me dice, pero solo me permite la traducción en Ingles. Muy agradecido
Bruyneel is mistaken that the only winners of the Tour de France which also won Tour of Flanders during their career were Pogacar and Merckx. There's a third cyclist who achieved that feat: Louison Bobet.
Bruynel talking way way way too much….let the great one speak freely! This is ridiculous
Yes he spent too much time teeing up the questions.
Eddie suggests, "You'll be better prepared for the Tour de France after doing the Giro because of the mountain stage and the weight lost." Meanwhile, Johan believes you should skip the Giro to better prepare for the Tour and only focus on that. Whose advice do we follow? The Cannibal or the great sports director? Chime in, people!
Toffe interview om bij stil te staan.. echt de max!
GOAT
Hoi, ik ben Nederlands aan het leren - meestal rond de randstad, dus ik snap niet alles in Vlaams. Maar waarom verstaan ik veel beter wat Johan zegt vergeleken met Eddy? Is het verschillende dialekten uit Belgie?
Johan doet zijn best om - zeker in het begin van het interview - duidelijk algemeen Nederlands te spreken. (hoewel zijn West Vlaamse roots niet te ontkennen zijn). Eddy Merckx spreekt een ander Brussels dialect, met veel Franse invloeden en heel eerlijk spreekt niet altijd even duidelijk. Blijven volhouden met de Nederlandse lessen!
First Hinault, now Merckx? Could this channel get any better?
watched this after the hinault episode and was heartbroken, how can u do an interview with the goat of the sport and ramble on and on about unimportant shit instead of letting the man share more about his own career highlights like hinault did
Ho-ly-crap. Fantastic!
Legend
500 plus wins in 1100 races. Take that Tade!
well this year so far 7 in 10...😉
@@bobo-ph6xm And in one of the 3 he did not win, he lead out his teammate to win the sprint finish.
Bram brad xerx.
I would be curious to hear what Eddy thought of Lance. Eddy was the GOAT, but Lance sure got a lot of people into cycling in the US.
dit was nou wragtig pragtig
je pense que le peugeot px10 des champions etait un de rosa? cadre en mesure???
Johan is Belgian so that he can talk to his countryman 🐐
Thats cool
Fuckin outstanding
The only sick person who is not a friend of his rivals is clearly Armstrong ... Fuente was his only rival in the giro, Eddy came to his funeral and had great admiration for him.
38 mins Basically of JB with 2 mins EM....ZZZ
Johan asks dozens of questions in one and gets an answer "Absolut". Lol.
Only one emoji needed: 🐐
Lamento que no se pueda traducir en español.
偉大なるメルクスさん．お元気でなにより．
Bruineel talks more than Eddy... He should listen more...
Eddy Merckx the biggest legend of them all
Weet hoe vaak hij betrapt is op doping?????
@@ronachterberg9264 still rode his bike up and down those mountains😅😅🚴♀️👍
@@ronachterberg9264Hou eens op Ron met die reacties op iedereen. Laat iedereen zijn mening hebben.
Bovendien, als je denkt dat het nu geen rol meer speelt kun je beter ophouden met het bekijken van de wielersport.
@@matthijsklerkx8008 Grappig dat je zegt dat ieder een mening mag hebben en je wilt mij de mond snoeren! Wat ik trouwens zeg is geen mening, maar de waarheid. Zoek maar op...Hij is 3 x op doping betrapt. De dopingcontrole toen was summier....en gezien het enorme machtsverschil met de rest geeft maar weer aan dat volstond van de dope...Niet wat ik zeg.....wat bewezen is....Koning Merkcx was een oplichter!!!!
@@Richard-me6eq Just like Armstong, yes....
Johan was the trainer of Amstrong ..
I would ve like EM to weigh in on the C Froome situation.
The original Pogacar 👑
But he took doping🤪
@@ronachterberg9264lol en jouw helden niet Hollander?
Jaloerse kuthollander spotted
@@apolloniusbeitsman5444 Wat heeft mijn nationaliteit ermee te maken? Merckx was een notoire gebruiker net als Armstrong. Alleen waren de gebruikers slimmer toen dan de opsporingsdiensten. Nu worden ze dag en nacht gecontroleerd...Hij werd de Giro uitgegooid om doping....bewijs is er...
👋👋👋
Merckx was a bit like the racing car drivers of the time, strong looking and suave, almost rock atar with the side burns. Unfortunately the pay didn't match the fame and achievements back then. I wonder if eddy still rides a bike as he looks well.
Johan knows how to engage with Eddy...he knows Eddy is not a great talker,so that's the reason Johan is more vocal..😊
There is only one 🐐
I see now why Johan doesn't like Vingegaard.
Vingegaard is a man of very few words....
Isn’t it ironic to hear from the indisputable GOAT that he had and still has great relationships with his former opponents and teammates and Johan stating that he admires this, but couldn’t imagine this to happen in this day and age… 🤔
Ironically I believe to remember that the complete crew of the Move were shocked and amazed by the very friendly relationships between the current stars of the sport…
Now I’m confused, since I don’t believe Johan suffers from memory loss, and therefore it would be interesting to know why Johan didn’t feel the need to bring up that this wasn’ t uncommon at all back in the days? Not a single reference to Merckx… Isn’t that ironic, don’t you think……
I admire, if not envy these Europeans who are bilingual. Some can speak at least four languages. How many Americans can do that?
No idea why Eddy would talk to Don Johan the godfather of doping, but it's no good for his image. I'm still baffled how he escaped prosecution, please Johan explain which countries want to take you into custody and why London is so nice to criminals.
