Eddie Merckx, simply the best of the best.

Three times Paris–Roubaix winner.

Maybe just one of the stories you pick up from the gutter, But they say that Merckx often rode when he was not in form, because if he didn’t ride, the team didn’t eat.

The Armstrong-Ullrich crashes are great stuff, but do not think Armstrong ever enter Paris–Roubaix, he might get hurt!

#1. Merckx retired 38 years ago.
#2. It’s Eddy, not Eddie
#3. Merckx doping positives: 3; Sagan doping positives: 0

#4: Even doped to the gills, Merckx could never do this:

Sagan, OTOH, does it cleans.
