Merckx - Dans les roues d'un champion

Eddy Merckx is more than a champion cyclist; in his time of unprecedented sporting victory during the 1960s and '70s, he represented the fusion of Belgium's distinct Walloon and Flemish cultures. Filmmakers Christophe Hermans and Boris Tilquin have assembled this loving portrait of a somewhat shy, reserved star who pushed himself to extraordinary limits of pain and endurance.
