For any keen road cyclist, the name Eddy Merckx isn’t just known or held in high esteem. It has legendary status. Mr. Merckx is understandably classed as the best of the best, the GOAT, if you must, of the male cycling world.The name and legend of Merckx is cemented in the folk law of cycling; it’s part of the fabric of the sport. There’s no one out there who throws a leg over a drop-barred bike that isn’t aware of his place in history. It’s a question I’ve been pondering for a few weeks since I was invited to Belgium to check out the new range of Eddy Merckx bikes for 2024. Does he still hold that high esteem for all cyclists? Does the name on the down tube still carry the same amount of clout as it did, even 10 years ago? Or does it even matter? And I also check out the new bikes.
