Synopsis
In cycle racing there have been some amazing feats, stories of comeback and daring, of victory and tragedy, of personal sacrifice and bad luck--and then there is the story of the greatest cyclist that ever lived: Eddy Merckx. This extraordinary Belgian notched up an incredible 525 victories in a career that spanned just over 13 years. No surprise then, that even his teammates nicknamed him The Cannibal. Eddy Merckx was from a different time, a time when professional cyclists raced all year round, from the cold early season classics, to the hot summer grand tours. Today professional bike riders specialize in one event, yet Merckx was a true all-rounder, equally at home in the velodromes of Ghent as on the French Alps. He won all of the major bike races and more; the Cannibal was unique. This photographic collection is unique too, because it is the story of Eddy Merckx as seen by a fan. L'album d'Eddy does not show considered portraits or typical finish line celebrations, but intimate and personal images of Merckx. This book depicts races including the Tour de France and the 1971 World Championships in Barcelona, and shows many of the riders of the time such as Raymond Poulidor, Roger Swerts and Herman van Springel. The origin of the album remains a mystery: all we know about its possible owner is the inscription on the inside cover: "Bien sportivement – M. Louis LeCouf," which is signed by Eddy Merckx.

hardcover. Condition: Nuovo (New). Prima edizione (First Edition). Riproduzione a colori di un album di fotografie vintage dello sportivo, considerato uno dei più grandi ciclisti mai esistiti, Eddy Merckx. Un saggio di Paul Fournel in inglese e francese Design: Peter Miles Studio. Cm 26x32. pp. 48. . Nuovo (New). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Nel mondo del ciclismo ci sono state imprese incredibili, storie di rimonte e di audacia, di vittorie e di tragedie, di sacrifici personali e di sfortuna - e poi c'è la storia del più grande ciclista mai esistito: Eddy Merckx.Questo straordinario belga ha collezionato ben 525 vittorie in una carriera durata poco più di tredici anni. Non sorprende quindi che anche i suoi compagni di squadra lo soprannominassero "Il Cannibale". Eddy Merckx apparteneva a un'epoca diversa, un'epoca in cui i ciclisti professionisti correvano tutto l'anno, dalle fredde classiche di inizio stagione ai caldi grandi giri estivi.Oggi i ciclisti professionisti si specializzano in un solo evento, ma Merckx era un vero tuttofare, a suo agio sia nei velodromi di Gand che sulle Alpi francesi. Ha vinto tutte le principali gare ciclistiche e non solo: il Cannibale era unico.Anche questa raccolta fotografica è unica, perché è la storia di Eddy Merckx vista da un fan. L'album d'Eddy non mostra ritratti considerati o tipiche celebrazioni al traguardo, ma immagini intime e personali di Merckx. Questo libro ritrae gare come il Tour de France e i Campionati del Mondo di Barcellona del 1971 e mostra molti corridori dell'epoca come Raymond Poulidor, Roger Swerts e Herman van Springel. L'origine dell'album rimane un mistero: tutto ciò che sappiamo sul suo possibile proprietario è l'iscrizione all'interno della copertina: "Bien sportivement - M. Louis LeCouf", firmata da Eddy Merckx. Book. Seller Inventory # bc_233727
