No athlete has ever dominated a sport like Eddy Merckx. During his career, he notched up an unequalled 525 victories on road, track and cobbles. In the last 50 years, nobody has ever come close to matching Eddy’s achievements. But this isn’t just a story about winning. It’s about a man who was framed as a cheat, who made an epic comeback, who almost died in a fatal crash, and who put his reputation on the line to ride 49.431 kms in 60 minutes, setting the definitive 1 Hour Record that lasted for decades. Eddy is so much more than a cyclist. He’s an unstoppable legend.
