Eddy Merckx: "The Ardennes is pure happiness!
Eddy Merckx and the Ardennes, it is a special relationship. The Belgian champion has forged some of his greatest successes there. 5 times winner of the "Doyenne", 3 times winner of the Flèche wallonne, Eddy Merckx knows the roads there by heart. Roads on which he has created part of his legend. The monument at the top of the very difficult côte du Stockeu pays tribute to him.
