Eddy Merkcx Story

Two films about Eddy Merckx, the man sometimes referred to as the greatest cycling champion of them all. The first film tells the story of his remarkable career, describing how he grew up above a small grocer's store in Brussels, and how his ambition and drive pushed him to the forefront of his field, with Merckx himself offering insights into his early years. In the second film, the focus moves to Merckx's great rivalry with the Italian cyclist Felice Gimondi, and includes footage of the two racing, along with interviews in which they describe their relationship.
