No ha habido ni habrá un ciclista como Eddy Merckx.Un mito y una leyenda eterna.

Also God had a sense of humour....he made him a Belgian to piss of the French.

The best sportsman in history... by far

He really was the greatest cyclist to ever live.

Thanks to this video, my passion for cycling has returned After many years. I've bought a 70's bike like these ones. Of course

Before I ride, I always play this video.

Superb compilation and music thank you! still gives me goosebumps watching Merckx after 40 years :)

Probably the greatest sportsman of all time.

i have been watching this video for years. i dont know if you are an editing genius or just really lucky, there are so many perfect moments that sync with the music. i get emotional when i watch this, i dont know why, and i dont care for almost any other person. when i watch this i am proud to be a cyclist, i am proud that it defines me. i have never entered a race and i am obviously not 1/100th of Merckx but when i am riding at full bore and sweating, i am in my own mind.

This is the greatest thing on the internet, ever.

The man the myth the legend. Can you imagine what he could do on a bike with today’s technology? He would destroy everything just like he did in his day. The greatest ever.

He is regarded as the greatest road cyclist. No enhancing drugs, no fancy bikes. Just pure talent and a will to beat everyone.

my hero as a boy my hero as a man

What an inspiring compilation. Eddy is amazing.

Eddy Merckx, el caníbal, el mejor ciclistas de todos los tiempos, el Hombre al que nadie nunca podrá igualar.

Perhaps the greatest sportsman ever!

I like how the guys 40 or 50 years ago had bigger gears and less of them. Just hammering away. On steel frames, too. It's true that bicycle technology has come a long way and it's much lighter and more advanced. But the old way is the picture in my head when I think of "cycling". I've done all my riding on a steel framed Raleigh or a Schwinn with a tall fixed gear. I don't feel as confident with aluminum wheels and chainrings on public roads in remote places and thre terrain where I live is dead flat. I imagine these old timers racing Le Tour on France's beat up postwar roads back in the early days carrying tubes on their shoulders. They were definitely strong riders and really dedicated to their sport. They rode their way up to better equipment through many hard miles by winning on what they had. Kind of like auto racing in the 50s and 60s. It had that raw, frontier feel to it.

A very nice tribute to the greatest cyclest ever. ;-)

This music is so fitting, and the originality is incredible. Not only have you shown your appreciation for the best cyclist of the 20th century, you have also demonstrated a musical insight rarely seen on the tube.

Wow, what an original song to choose.

Quite possibly the greatest ever athlete.

Even though I am an American, and have love this sport since the age of 13 and have done Road roadracing, touring and did the kilo on the Encino velodrome, I will easily admit that Eddy merckx is the greatest road racing cyclist of all time, and there is no close second! I remember working at a Pro Bike Shop in the early 70s in the LA area and I believe it was during one of the world championships, that another top rated road racer said something like this.. " Eddie passed me like he was on a motorbike". I suppose you could say that he is the only good cannibal that ever lived LOL. And, if that's not enough, what a great head of hair!

Merckx was like an animal on the bike, nobody could live with him

We'd never seen his like before and we'll never see his like again. The greatest cyclist of all time...... and always will be.

Nothing else to say. Won virtually every type of race there is, from the spring classics to the Grand Tours, many of them multiple times. Contrast that with this era, where riders arrange their training regimen to "peak" for a specific point (or even a specific race) in the season. We will never see another like him.

No importa la época el es y seguirá siendo el mejor.

Eddy Merckx was the greatest ! .

King of kings,the best ciclist of all times,the most complete,fantastic in all terrains like it should be.

Love the old style cycling cap. I used to wear one when I was a rider.

11 speed my arse, dude had 6 speed suntour and was killing folks. Ride your bike ladies and quit worrying about latest greatest toys. Chapeau Merckx!!

This guy was old school. No fancy tech. Just raw pedaling power!

Eddy Merckx, the greatest sportsman ever 🖤💛❤️ I'm proud to be belgian and to have such a great man.

Eddy is the best , amazing winner and wonderful human being.

Everyone knows this man was and still is the greatest cyclist ever! There will never be another Merckx

absolutely excellent. by the end of the video i noticed my fists were clenching super tight. the race up the mountains with snow on the ground, and fat guys in suits running along side them and keeping up because it is so steep is intense. i bike everyday and i wouldnt last 10' up that hill! thanks for this video!

The Cannibal !!! A living legend !!!

The greatest of all time I place him together with Muhammed Ali

Merck is the GOAT. No one will ever come close to what he's achieved as a professional rider. In the '69 TdF, he won the general, points, mountains, and combination classifications, and the award for most aggressive rider.

Il cannibale, senza dubbio il più grande di tutti i tempi.

This is my favourite cyclingvideo on youtube! Coming back to watch this for years now:)

Eddy Merckx was the best of all times, Fausto Coppi was the greatest of all times

Esse atleta e uma inspiração de força, objetividade, e persistência. O cará. O melhor de todos o Pelé da bicicleta.

For those who dont know this man was such a bad ass he would be in yellow not under pressure and with 150Km remaining with a mountain finish, and this beast of a man would ride out in front and attack everyone all the way to the end when he won a tour you knew for sure that this man was the best no question

The hardest worker at the most physically demanding sport hands down.

This is the King, the best ever, not armstrong or indurain

the truest rider of all time is Mssr. Eddy Merckx. Nobody can touch his style and fortitude. a true hero. a King.

inspiration beyond measure,a true destroyer of the competition. The best!!!!

The greatest there ever was.

Without a doubt The Greatest

Eddy Merckx, the most efficient human machine ever

One of the finest athletes that ever lived.

Those side burns made him aero. I guarantee it.

Show não canso de assistir,é motivador demais Nunca mais ninguém ganha tanto como ele O maior de todos os tempos

no epo, no steroids, no hgf, nothing synthetic, pure eddy merckx

Brilliant video clip of a great sportsman, one of the few good video clips on youtube.

Eddy Merckx, nejlepší cyklista všech dob

The greatest bike rider there will ever be.

El mejor ciclista de todos los tiempos grande Edy merk

Don't mess with THE CANIBAL

Excelente video!!! EL GRAN CAMPEONÍSIMO EDDY!! the BEST!!! El mejor de todos los tiempos a su rueda (5:02) el gran Vicente López-Carril (RIP)

Un grandissimo. Il migliore di tutti i tempi. Assieme a Coppi.

C'est une vidéo formidable et émouvante sur le plus grand coureur de tous les temps , au palmarès inégalable, o combien cet homme peu aimé en France mais aimé partout ailleurs, homme réservé timide humain , au style bien à lui, à une époque où il y avait de la concurrence, coureur complet point faible la très haute montagne mais quand même le plus fort ds cette discipline mis à part ocana et fuente.roi du clm.sprinter aux longs sprints en puissance, très grand rouleur peut-être le plus grand avec van looy et peut-être roger devlamink et très grand descendeur avec nibali, et en plus très grand pistard , et recordman de l heure avec vieille machine 625 victoires amateur et professionnelles et le seul à avoir un 4 titres de champion du monde, 3 professionnels et 1 amateur.et le seul à avoir remporté 11 grands tours dont 5 doublés giro tour vuelta tour. Immense champion dont on reparlera dans mille ans comme neil young l un des derniers dinosaures de la musique ci moderne de tous les temps

Esse sr., Barão Merckxs, fazia a festa dos cineastas, repórteres e fotógrafos da época, le só andava na frente. Não era de negociar corridas, metia-se à frente do pelotão e partia para ganhar. Disputou e ganhou praticamente todas as provas importantes: GRANDES VOLTAS, CORRIDAS DE 01 DIA, CORRIDAS EM VELÓDROMO, CONTRARRELÓGIO, CICLOCROSS, COM CHUVA, COM NEVE, COM VENTO. Era e é um sr. super simpático, grande empresário, entende tudo de bicicletas, fabrica uma das melhores bicicletas do mundo. Só.

Superb! x

I loved this video. Great job!!!

Le meilleur de sa discipline aucun équivalent dans un autre sport hormis Roger Federer. La GRANDE classe. Inclassable ce type...le talent, le mental, la gagne il avait tout👍💪💪💪💪💪💪

He won the general classification (yellow jersey), points classification (green jersey) and the mountains classification. No other rider has achieved this triple in the Tour de France, and only Tony Rominger and Laurent Jalabert have matched it in any grand tour[n 4] Merckx also won the combination classification and the combativity award. Merckx led the race from stage six to twenty-two --Wikipedia. Who the greatest of all time is obvious, isn't it?

Greatest bike rider ever!

'Mito indiscusso' "Exxcellent"

today i decided to try a challenge. to bike 5 miles at the top of every hour, then rest for the remainder of the hour, and do this 10 times for 50 miles. ive biked 40 miles straight through and it was easier than this. i have 9 rides done and watching this to get inspired for the last one. this video is part of my DNA ive watched it so many times

Still the GOAT!

Genial video plasma el esplendor del mejor ciclista de la historia.

The song belongs to the movie "Requiem for a Dream". Look for the the bso of the movie, I don't name the exact name. Here the greatest cyclist ever. Only once in all story. Neither before nor after him other one with his force. Come on Eddy!!!

@WELLBRAN Yes, a Merckx attack was always an attack to win, once he decided "the moment" to go that was it , the decisive move in the race and every body knew it , panic, fear , some humiliation and suffering followed. They also knew if his first attack was not successful he would attack again and again and again until it was.

Uno de los Grandes del Ciclismo y del Deporte Mundial Sus Hazañas hicieron Inmortales el Tour de France ..El Giro de Italy y Vuelta a España y Grandes Clasicas Es Un Champion 🏆La Leyenda Viva de Eddy Merx

Absolute monster on the bike, relentless.... Iron will to succeed and unshakeable, never will his kind ever again..

Epic Video,many thanks for producing and upload!

Mercx o melhor de sempre.

How do you know that? Riders like Merckx come around perhaps once every 50 years I think he would dominate in any era he was simply phenomenal and quite likely the greatest rider there has ever been.

Fantastic!

Nonhuman! Iron will, strength, endurance! RUNNER! High class cycling of the last century, is unattainable today!

La parte donde va con nieve sobre el cuerpo, me voló la testa, una máquina, por siempre el CANIBAL🚴‍♂️
