  • All against the greatest cyclist of all time. During the glorious era of the classics, the battles between Merckx, Maertens and De Vlaeminck, the best cyclists in the world were epic. In the Tour of Flanders, the '77 De Ronde Van Vlaanderen was the most controversial of all.

    Old cycling, amazing cycling. The exciting cycling of the 70s led to individual struggles that were a delight for the fan. The Tour of Flanders in 1977 was the culmination of this rivalry between Flemish cyclists, who processed eternal hatred of Eddy Merckx. De Vlaeminck, with the invaluable help of Freddy Maertens, managed to win the race thus getting his fifth monument, equaling the also Flemish Van Looy, and the almighty Eddy Merckx.

    Mind you: what this man says at the start of this video is absolutely not how it's been translated in the subs. What he actually shouts out towards Roger De Vlaeminck are these words freely translated in English (and don't bother to argue: I'm from Belgium (West-Flanders) myself so I do kinda know the lingo 😛): "Roger De Vlaeminck gets the Tour de Flandres on a plate,! You coward! You insolent!" Other than that: you're talking complete "bull" about everybody in Flanders automatically being 'against Merckx'. I live in Flanders and lots of folks that I know (amongst my own late dad) were huge fans of Merckx. Eddy was just at the end of his career but wanted to show himself one more time. Deep inside he knew he wouldn't stand a chance against De Vlaeminck or Maertens. Certainly Maertens was at his peak in 76 and 77. Roger De Vlaeminck afterwards refused to pay the dues for the deal he had set op with Freddy to get him to win the race. There's a museum in Oudenaarde fully dedicated to the Tour De Flandres where there's a line of bricks at the window, each of them has the winner of each year carved in it. On the brick of 1977 it says: "Freddy Maertens, moral winner".

      Bisogna dire che Mertens venne anche trovato positivo al doping. Inoltre de vlaeminch vinse una settimana dopo anche la roubaix.

    The commentary is smooth, but all wrong. You got most of the facts wrong. You describe
    Freddy Maertens as a tall flemish rider. He is not tall, he is actually quite short, and many other things you quote are wrong.

    hahaha what are you talking about merckx the enemy, first off all he speaks Flemisch like a native there are many dialects in Belgium, secondo they loved them for Maertens and De Vlaeminck he is the greatest. And that he grow up in Brussels but was born in Kiezel meenegem was never a issue, you don't now anything about koers.
