Razors Edge ★ Posted October 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2018 ...with the Grand Depart in Brussels! The Grand Départ in Brussels will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Eddy Merckx’s first yellow jersey in 1969 with an opening road stage on the Cannibal’s local roads. The 192km stage will head down to Charleroi via the cobbled Muur van Geraardsbergen climb and even includes a visit to Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, where Merckx won the first of his 111 yellow jerseys - if split-stages are included.

Prophet Zacharia Posted October 25, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 25, 2018 That would be a great Tour to follow, from a travel and transfer standpoint. But I think the next Tour that I go to will allow visitation of the Normandy coast, as I have not been that far Northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty amazing, actually. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it was more amphetamines back then and not blood doping and the penalties were fairly light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
