Me and Eddie
Originally uploaded by cyclesq.

Eddie Merckx is the man! This was taken during Interbike at the Festina store, which is the largest watch store in the world! Eddie was being interviewed by Frankie Andreau about comparing the Tour back when he won to what it is today as well as comparing the bikes, equipment, new technology and training plans. He said when he raced he did not train that much because he raced every weekend so that was enough training for him. When asked if he is faster now that he has lost alot of weight? He said well, I go down the hills much slower now! It was great listening to him talk!
