It's interesting that he spends so much time looking down. I found it easier to
stay in the middle of rollers when I looked ahead. But that's me.

Eddie looks where ever he wants.

Ya know all those bad Chuck Norris jokes. Well they're all really about Eddie
Merckx and they're all true and not the least bit funny. When you tell them
about Chuck, they are funny jokes.

Eddy didn't usually have many people in front of him, so he didn't get
in the habit of having to keep his focus riveted on the guy in front.
I'm not saying you do, but....ah, hell, yes I am!

It was nice knowing you, Ron. Eddy is going to have your liver with
some Chianti and fava beans.

Don't be daft. They're steel with silver-brazed lugs.

No doubting the awesomeness of Eddy, but that really isn't fast at
all. He wouldn't even come close to winning any roller races like
that.

This clip is from La Course en Tete, I believe. It's worth watching
the whole thing if you ain't seen it.

He was mugging for the cameras. At full speed it was similar to a
strobe - his legs didn't look like they were moving.

BTW, Eddy might be coming for your liver, too. Lie low for a while -
lights out, shades drawn, don't answer the phone.

You are correct. It is a scene from "La Course En Tete", a wonderful
documentary..
