A video clip from the excellent documentary “Eddy Merckx—Greatest Show on Earth”. This particular segment highlights the enormous hardships that face a professional cyclist on a stage in a Grand Tour—in this case a Giro d’Italia mountain stage. If nothing else, the segment provides some classic cycling footage.
Soooo goood.
