Description
Eddy Merckx: The Cannibal is a comprehensive biography that delves into the life and career of one of cycling's most dominant figures. For 14 years, Edouard Louis Joseph Merckx dominated the sport, amassing an impressive 445 victories, including five Tour de France wins. Merckx's era has been referred to as cycling's Golden Age, a period marked by memorable characters who would have gone on to become legends in their own right. However, Merckx's phenomenal career overshadowed them all. This biography sheds light on the truth behind his incredible success and the events that shaped his life, including failed drug tests, a fatal crash, and an attack by a spectator. With access to the greats of the cycling world and extensive interviews with Merckx contemporaries, this book provides a unique insight into the mind and motivations of one of cycling's greatest athletes.
