  • Sporting Legends: Axel Merckx

    Sporting Legends: Axel Merckx

    SPORTING LEGENDS: AXEL MERCKX SPORT: CYCLING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1993 - 2007 Axel Merckx (born August 8, 1972 in Uccle, Belgium), the son of the legendary Eddy Merckx, was a professional road bicycle racer since November 1993. In 1995 he joined Team Motorola as a team-mate of the young Lance Armstrong. Despite several strong years of racing, including winning the Belgian national championship in 2000, Axel is probably still more famous for being the son of five-time Tour de France champion Eddy Merckx than for any of his cycling exploits. Despite being overshadowed by his father's formidable record, Axel has repeatedly vowed to make his mark by accomplishing feats Eddy never managed - including a Tour de France stage win at the top of Alpe d'Huez and a win in the Paris-Tours World Cup race - but has yet to make good on these promises. He has a large number of fans in Belgium, and would undoubtedly engender a great deal more goodwill if he were ever to achieve either of those elusive wins. One place where he has overshadowed his father is at the Olympic Games. A good climber, Axel is probably at his best in the mid-altitude mountain ranges, notably the Massif Central and the Ardennes. His favorite race, and the one he feels best in, is Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He is also always aiming for a Tour de France stage win, and can often be found in long breaks. His sprinting capacities are not that strong, so he is often beaten at the finish. SPORTING LEGENDS: AXEL MERCKX Merckx enjoyed his 2004 Olympic Bronze success in Athens.

    Aarhus Cyklebane Præsenterer Jørgen Leths Æresløb & DM for Junior Fredag d. 14. august 2015 kl. 18.00-20.30 Lørdag d. 15. august 2015 kl. 10.00-15.00 Fri Entre: Jyllands Alle 79, 8000 Aarhus C Velkommen til Jørgen Leths Æresløb & Junior DM 2015 Jørgen Leth er født og opvokset i Viby, en forstad til Aarhus, ikke langt fra Aarhus Cyklebane. Som barn var Jørgen Leth ofte at finde på cyklebanens inderkreds, hvor han havde adgang idet hans onkel, Erik Linde, på daværende tidspunkt var banechef på Aarhus Cyklebane. Den unge Jørgen Leth var meget fascineret af det drama som udspillede sig på banen, når nogle af verdens største stjerne gæstede Aarhus Cyklebane i dens storhedstid. Jørgen Leth har ved mange lejligheder fortalt om sin barndoms fascination af cyklebanen og dens drama, som grobund for den cykelsportslige fascination som senere skulle vise sig at præge ham gennem hele sit liv. Som kommentator på Tv2 sporten er Jørgen Leth blevet en levende legende i dansk cykelsport. Både for sin rolle under store klassikere som Paris Roubaix og Flandern Rundt, men i særdeleshed som fast mand i speakerboksen under Tour De France, er Jørgen Leth trådt ind i danskernes stuer, hver sommer, 3 uger i juni. Det har han gjort så godt, med sine maleriske fortællinger og sine fantastiske sproglige evner, at han for de fleste danskere er selve indbegrebet af Tour De France. I 2014 blev Jørgen Leth hyldet for sit tredive års jubilæum som journalist på Tour De France. En præstation som blev anerkendt i hele Europa, hvor store stjerner og legender udtrykte deres dybe respekt for den danske konge af Tour De France.
