The man who raced was a cannibal who devoured his rivals, with eyes only for victory. He was unmatched and insatiable; some even said he had magic in his legs. But the man who stepped onto the podium was an enigma. Unable to get to the bottom of what gave the Cannibal his hunger, frustrated journalists concluded that Eddy Merckx must simply be a machine.
The truth was more complicated. Merckx was plagued with nerves and self-doubt, which he could only escape when racing. Off his bike, he obsessed about every ache, despite enduring enormous physical pain to be first to cross the line. His peers reconciled themselves to defeat, but Merckx feared losing more than anything else. And when the inevitable end of his career dawned he was ill equipped to recognise or admit his decline.
Merckx’s era was a golden age full of memorable characters who, at any other time, would have become legends. Daniel Friebe has interviewed Felice Gimondi, Roger De Vlaeminck, Freddy Maertens, Bernard Thevenet, Raymond Poulidor, Walter Godefroot and many more of Merckx’s favourite victims to recreate the Cannibal’s successes and torments in vivid detail, and finally uncover the truth behind this unique athlete.
