Cosa rende Eddy Merckx il più grande di sempre?

Eddy Merckx wasn't just a cyclist, he was a force of nature. In this video, we retrace the life and career of "The Cannibal," the man who won 525 races, dominating every single competition: from the Grand Tours to the Monument Classics, to the legendary Hour Record in Mexico. We analyze key moments: the inspiration from Stan Ockers, the dramatic crash in Blois that changed his riding, the 1969 doping scandal, and the incredible 1975 Tour de France, marked by the hatred of French fans and his famous punch on the Puy de Dôme. Finally, an unmissable comparison with modern cycling and the talent of Tadej Pogačar. 00:00 Introduction: Absolute Domination in Cycling 00:47 The Origins and the Idol Stan Ockers 02:40 Why "The Cannibal"?
