  • - Halvt menneske, halvt cykel
    by William Fotheringham
    £14.99

    Tour de France 1969. Syttende etape til Mourenx. Eddy Merckx er otte minutter foran i det samlede klassement. Sejren er hjemme. Alligevel angriber han, kører solo i mere end 140 kilometer hen over flere bjerge og kommer i mål med over otte minutter ned til forfølgerne.Merckx gjorde det ikke, fordi det var nødvendigt, men fordi han kunne.Eddy Merckx er for cyklingen, hvad Muhammad Ali er for boksningen: den største, der nogensinde har været. Han dominerede hen over hele cykelsæsonen i alle løb og holdt cykelsporten i et fast greb fra slutningen af 60’erne og frem til midten af 70’erne. Han vandt alt, hvad der var værd at vinde. Og han ikke bare vandt over sine konkurrenter. Han åd dem. De kaldte ham ’Kannibalen’.William Fotheringham fortæller historien om en af det tyvende århundredes største sportspersonligheder. Om en cykelrytter, der aldrig stillede til start blot for at være med, men kun for at vinde.
