Description
Merckx 69 documents Eddy Merckx in 1969 - considered to be the best year of Merckx's road cycling career. Written by a close friend of Merckx, this beautifully produced book features previously unpublished photographs by Tonny Strouken – who spent most of 1969 following Merckx during his epic racing season.
Featuring a prologue from Eddy Merckx, this is a lovingly produced paean to one of cycling's greats, in this, his 69th year.

Reviews

This year Eddy Merckx turned 70, and what better way to celebrate than to give yourself a copy of Merckx 69, which brings to life arguably Merckx's most successful year on a bicycle

utterly fabulous ...the photos are glorious, fascinating, engaging and addictive
The Washing Machine Post
-
will prove irresistible for any serious collector of cycling books. ...Merckx fans tend to be 'completests' and their 'Merckx corner' of the bookshelf will look bare without this mighty tome.
The Tour
-
A fine book chronicling the finest year of the finest cyclist.
The Inner Ring
-
sumptuous
Guardian
