Eddy Merckx - Hour Record 1972 Mexico City

My FATHER Was On a Big BUTCHERS Bike at. Age 10 ????HE WAS SO FAST !!!SHEER POWER AND Did NOT !!!STAND UP AT ALL ??? HE SAID That To DO SO WEAKENS the BODY !!!UPHILL HE WAS IMPOSSIBLE !!!But A German Prison Camp Took His Teenage Years 😳WHEN He Came Back He Was ILL !!! And He Met My Mum And They HAD 6 kids 😁WHO KNOWS What He COULD Have DONE AT THE RACES !!!HE SAID EDDIE Merx WAS HIS HERO !!!g

EDDIE MERX 😁A ONE OFF !!!! GREATEST CYCLE ROADMAN OF ALL TIME !!!g

in the top 8..

no-one else in the history of the sport has won so often at so many different disciplines over such a long period, from the 6-day's to the grand tours, truly the GOAT

Record in altitude , Merckx never was a great pistard, on road he was competing vs nobody ; the 2nd best behind him those yrs was Gimondi ( no need to add more ). The greatest of history is by far Fausto Coppi, the Champ of the champions and nobody can be close to his unforgotten legend

Was he using a skinsuit ?

Eddy Mercks the best!

Quel champion ce gd Eddy Merckx@en ce qui me concerne je le considère comme le plus gd champion du 20ème siècle toutes disciplines confondues devant le gd Mohamed Ali et le nageur américain Mark spitz sans oublier le gd Jesse Owen@Merckx =détermination/endurance/courage/humilité/simplicité @en un mot le CHAMPION PAR EXCELLENCE @

Un carnibal ....

The greatest Master of Cycling in all Times Forever...

Es un gusto ver el video de un gran corredor de todos los tiempos, pero sobre todo en lo personal ver a mi padre dar el disparo de salida y de la hora. Un gran comisario internacional mexicano.

Le roi eddy merckx dans toute ça splendeur et il fait valser le record sur piste de l époque. Eddy le roi des rois pour son palmarès jamai égalé et ne le sera jamai 525 victoires sans les victoires sur piste eddy merckx le grand ne s en souvient plus il ne dormait pas sur ces lauriers et l entraînement a bloc comme en compétition. Eddy merckx est toujours parmi nous pour voir qsai pas dmain laveil qui soit égalé.

Le plus le Grand Eddy!!!

The Beast.

The greatest 👍

GRANDE GRANDE GRANDE OTTIMO EDDY

What is that that he put in his nose? Is that for keeping mucus dry or something?

Imagine what Merckx would’ve done if he had today’s aero technology and today’s bikes

tremendo ciclista

the playlist "fred weslay is not with fred" weslay inside, thx anyway

So, Ferdinand Bracke's hour record was in Rome I think. I wonder if Merckx and Ritter would have beaten it on a similar lowland velodrome. Bracke was such an elegant TT rider.

Moser, the man that would "beat" Eddy's Hour Record, NEVER beat Eddy in a time trail. Not once. No one since Eddy, could in an equal race could better Eddy's record. The Hour stands as Eddy set it.

通常のトラックレーサーの最高記録!今のトッププロで此れを上回る記録を出せる人は何人居るのか知りたいです!

A tous les bran .. eurs qui ne voient pas la difference avec nos froomey et autre LA PANTANI .. Le grand , le plus grand !!! a lma fin d une petite heure de piste la souffrance ! ca vous dit ba non ,

If Eddy had all modern equipment in his prime, the record would still be his.

Wow 49.4 km on that rubbish old bicycle.

im pretty sure im faster 160cm height my weight skilled 53,4 kg and the most powerfull weapon on road cycling 260 kg legs power thats nice

No doping 1972 ???????🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇩🇪🇩🇪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇴🇨🇴🇬🇧

THE BEST EVER.

S’il y a un sport ou le GOAT ne soulève aucun débat c’est bien le cyclisme. Je suis un grand fan de Miguel Induraïn mais Eddy Merx n’a aucun rival dans la grande Histoire du vélo. Au dessus de la mêlée, le mec. Il fait l’unanimité!

who is watching in 2021

Hes one of greatest athletes of our times He the Michael Jordan of bikes 🚲 racing 🏎 road and tack racing 🏎

Cycling was like fine wine back then.

Là oui j'ai eu du plaisir !!

Oh it's in French good :)

Not human. Amazing.

And not a aero plastic bike in site, or daft shaped helmet. Just a man on a bike. There aren't words.

I have an Eddy Merckx bike in orange that I bought in 1972 in Belgium!

I wonder what it would be like doing it in a Vaccum lol. with the bikeon a rail

My father trained in the Mexico Olympic velodrome as a teenager and he saw Eddy Merckx break the record on that day of the video. I showed him the video and he almost cried because that was his life and he even told me "one of those people in the stands is me" (in spanish). Amazing Eddy Merckx a superhuman

Le plus grand de tous les temps et tous sports confondus de par ses performances , sa volonté et son fair-play . Il voulait tout gagner mais jamais humilier , il respectait ses adversaires ...Vive le Cannibal ! (et pourtant je ne suis pas belge)

This record is still the real hour record on a real bike ...

Um belo registro.

Con drogas cualquiera ese maldades

Con drogas todos eran supers es la triste realidad. De los deportistas europeos a los que nadie les gana igual en el norte de ameria eeuu que nunca les gusto perder con rivales atletas limpios y onestos es por eso que los del resto del mundo no podemos conperir a ese nivel porque no usamos drogas para competir y los que las usan son expulsados de inmedito porque no quireren competencia seamos honestos señores

Merckx a true king 👑 on the bike,who needs technology when u got legs of unbreakable STEEL ..💪💪

He was a big unit on a bike compared to most today. Those legs!

A Colnago 5.5 kg steel bike

LE PLUS GRAND DE TOUS LES TEMPS!!
IMCOMPARABLE !!!
