The twenty-two year old's look of steely determination,
1967 Paris-Roubaix
Second year pro, Eddy Merckx was a force in 1967. He won his second consecutive Milan-San Remo and set a fire in the northern classics...
Ghent Wevelgem (1st), Fleche Wallonne (1st), Paris-Roubaix (8th), Tour of Flanders (3rd), Liege-Bastogne-Liege (2nd). An extraordinary season with a total of 26 races in the win column crowning it off with the world road race title in Heerlen.
"To me, 1967 was the year I was to get my maximum reward in one-day races."
- Eddy Merckx
