Le Cannibal Merino Wool Cycling Jersey

Eddy Merckx (1945 - )

The greatest cyclist ever. Belgian-born Merckx turned pro in 1965 and won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia five times, and the Vuelta a España once. He won all of professional cycling's classic "monument" races at least twice each (19 Classics victories in total), and he was World Champion four times. He broke the world hour record and retired in 1978.

It is not only the number of wins that set Merckx apart, but the variety. Whether a race lasted 3 hours or 3 weeks, he contested them all and won all types. This didn’t arise solely from sheer physical fitness but also an approach to racing that saw him dubbed 'Le Cannibal', eating up his competitors alive. For Merckx, winning was not enough – he had to win by the greatest margin possible, often humiliating his competitors by the distance he could put on them. So dominant was his style, he was asked not to race the 1973 Tour de France in order for the race to avoid becoming a dull ‘race for second place’ in Merckx’s wake.

Soigneur’s tribute jersey to Merckx features his 'Le Cannibal' nickname, and features the colours of his country's national championship jersey.
