I need to ride more.

What awesome stories we have been treated to today :-)

And Oli… you were right, but I like Roadslave’s version more.

Anyhow, he emails me last week to say he’s coming to London for some project or other, and would I like to have breakfast with him at the Eurostar train station when he arrives… Duh, yeah. Was awesome – he’s irritatingly good looking (not so awesome), but very charming, charismatic, cycle mad, and properly Belgian (on top of being very talented with a camera). [BTW, he’s pissed as hell, as am I, that the RvV next year is dropping both the Muur, Kapelmuur and the Bosberg from it’s parcours… we HAVE to mount a protest]

I asked about this portrait, and how it came about… he know knows Merckx (Praise His name!) well now, but this was the first time he’d been commissioned to shoot him and was meeting him for the first time, along with a Belgian journalist for an interview, as it was His 60th birthday (so, about 6 – 7 years ago). Stefan knew He was in good shape (he has since taken some other portraits of him in not so good shape), so had borrowed a vintage, original Molteni jersey from a Belgian collector he knew, with the idea to shoot him in his old kit… So, after the interview, in some restaurant in Belgium, Stefan said “go on, put this on, and let’s go outside and take some shots”… didn’t get a great response “Are you kidding?” “no seriously, it’ll be great”… so Merckx changes in the restuarant rest room into the jersey, goes out the back with Stefan where – with no backdrop, no assistant, no extra lighting – they find a white service door to act as a neutral backdrop… which is why the photo is cropped the way it is… any further to the right, left or top, you’ll get a brick wall… behind His back is a big door handle. At this stage, Merckx didn’t know who this photograher was, and it all seemed a little mickey mouse… hence the look for the camera. And boy, what a look… but what a photo.

Helluva way to start the day!

@Brett, @MikeThose have GOT to be Yate’s leggs.
I want your Eddy Merckx shirt, dude.

Yates or maybe Sean Kelly’s. Does the picture have a title with the owner of those guns?

I want your Eddy Merckx shirt, dude.

Thanks Mike, now I have to shell out more coin to get that book!

Great t-shirts too mate, gotta get me a Huy I think… check em out peeps.

@Marko
A-Merckx to that!

Nary a more beautiful place in North America. That’d be a fun one.

@ Oli Brooke-White: you can get portraits like this one
only at the end of very long process/work.

Yes, I know that a great picture like that takes time and effort. I wasn’t trying to belittle the photographer but essentially that is all there is to it. My point was that there’s no other back story…

I can’t believe you’ve never seen that picture of Eddy before, Frank. It’s one of my all time favorites of him.

There’s one available at amazon.co.uk:

The V-Cog is the sign, the bike is the tool, Eddy is the Prophet, Obey the Rules.

what does turkey neck have to do w/God-all-Merckx anyway, if I may ask?

He’s still Eddy and if only a drip of his sweat would anoint my head I would be eternally grateful

Am sorely tempted to throw copyright laws to the wind and print this on a t-shirt, as soon as I can think of a suitable caption. (“I ate Azaria” probably doesn;t cut it, Brett, but thanks for playing.)

Either way, f’king awesome photo!

Little known fact: it was a group of early racers on their “velocipedes” that were responsible for this disaster as well. It was just easier to blame the snow…

Just what is in the Cannibals mind? Who knows, but one thing is for sure, I have seen that look so many times its ridiculous, and it was on the face of either my dad or grandpa after I got caught and had an asswhipping coming. I’ll bet someone has an asswhipping coming by ye ole cannible like back in the good ole days. Its just been taught thoroughly to me that I don’t want any of it.

I’d definitely like to read more, and I’m sure it is out there in plenty of books, what it felt like for other pros to race against him in his prime. I imagine his talent, skills, nickname, size…and stare all made him quite imposing.

Makes me think of the scene at the start of A Sunday in Hell when he borrows a wrench from another team car. “Give me that wrench, or I’ll eat your family.”

Ah sorry man, perhaps I should have given a little warning for the link!

So glad I was given a glimpse of horror this morning as I checked my blogs and ate my breakfast. Cannibalism is more fun when it doesn’t really happen. Also, Merckx is still the savior.

Regardless, sweet photo. You guys sure do dig up some gems to post here.
