Discover 'On the Wheel of Eddy Merckx' Discover ‘on the Wheel of Eddy Merckx’ ‘Allez, Eddy, allez!’ ‘On the Wheel of Eddy Merckx’ rides you literally and figuratively through the bicycle race. In the Sportimonium, Belgium’s sports museum, you can experience together with many cycling legends the story of cycling races. Afterwards you can jump on a bike and ride through the beautiful rural region and get acquainted with the career of cycling icon Eddy Merckx. ‘On the Wheel of Eddy Merckx’ at the museum The Sportimonium is situated within easy reach of Antwerp, Brussels, Mechelen and Leuven. It offers a lot to see and to do for the active sports fan as well as for those with a more passing interest. In the spring of 2013 the Sportimonium focuses on cycling heritage and icon Eddy Merckx. A digital guide tells you, with an interactive quiz and an active game, the story of the highlights of cycling history and commemorates the striking moments from Merckx’s career. Eddy Merckx is the theme, but there are also diversions to other cycling heroes. In the museum you can observe the bicycle evolution, from the walking machine to the ‘boneshaker’ (with no tires filled with air) and from the elitist ‘dandy-horse’ to ‘the horse of the poor’. There, you will also learn that pep pills are of all times. On old bicycle race pictures you can see beer and wine on supply. A large swig of champagne right before the finals will make the participants that tiny bit more reckless, which allows taking more risks during the sprint. The Sportimonium wouldn’t be a sports museum if there wasn’t the possibility of active participation. Everyone can measure themselves against athletes. In about ten tests you can compare your physical fitness against famous Belgian athletes. If the weather is good, it is lovely to play traditional games in the traditional games garden. Cycling routes Would you also like to explore the cycling heritage of the region on bike? That’s possible! Tourism Flemish Brabant, and tourism Rupelstreek-Vaartland designed three cycling tracks. Two of the tracks run alongside the Sportimonium. The first track, which has a length of about 50 km or 30 mph, runs through the breathtaking scenery in the green belt and brings you to the earlier Eddy Merckx bicycle factory. The two other tracks, which are each for about 40 or 50 km (25-30 mps) long, have a start northwards to Antwerp, which brings you through the region known for the building of velodromes, a very remarkable craft. The tracks are part of a network and can be made longer or shorter if wanted. Alongside the cycling tracks are 35 sign-boards with extra information about the region’s cycling history and the local international cycling heroes. Bikers with smartphones also can scan the QR-code, which brings them to the mobile website www.onthewheelofEddyMerckx.be. It contains extra information, anecdotes, cycling songs and pictures.

Here, you can watch more than 300 signed jerseys of cyclers like Tom Boonen, Fabian Cancellara, Lars Boom, Jan Ullrich and Christophe Moreau. In this unique setting you can also taste a local beer or enjoy a delicious meal. Anyone who is up for a kick can test the bicycle pistin Elewijt or Wilrijk. Cycling map and arrangements The map with the cycling tracks costs 2 euros and is obtainable at the Sportimonium, at the tourism offices and in the cycling cafés on the way. On the route, three big touchscreens are available to check the map and to get useful information in Dutch, French, English and German. If you only have one day to spend, then combine the cycling route with the Sportimonium, one of the few museums in the world which are acknowledged by the IOC as ‘Olympic museum’. Groups can choose to ride along with a former professional cyclist who will take the platoon along for a ride. Organisation ‘On the Wheel of Eddy Merckx’ was released by Tourism Flemish Brabant, Tourism Rupelstreek- Vaartland and the Sportimonium, especially for the centenary of the Tour of Flanders. ‘It was self- evident that Eddy Merckx would become the flywheel, because he is a monument in the sports world and he lives in the region.’ ‘On the Wheel of Eddy Merckx' opens at the beginning of April.

(EJiiPfflNITHIS Lance Armstrong Has Something to Get Off His Chest He doesn't use performance-enhancing drugs, he insists, no matter what his critics in the European press and elsewhere say. And yet the accusations keep coming. How much scrutiny can the two-time Tour de France winner stand? by Michael Hall In May of last year, Lance Armstrong was riding in the Pyrenees, preparing for the upcoming Tour de France. He had just completed the seven-and-a-half-mile ride up Hautacam, a treacherous mountain that rises 4,978 feet above the French countryside. It was 36 degrees and raining, and his team's director, Johan Bruyneel, was waiting with a jacket and a ride back to the training camp. But Lance wasn't ready to go. "It was one of those moments in my life I'll never forget," he told me. "Just the two of us. I said, 'You know what, I don't think I got it. I don't understand it.1 Johan said, 'What do you mean? Of course you got it. Let's go.' I said, 'No, I'm gonna ride all the way down, and I'm gonna do it again.' He was speechless. And I did it again." Lance got it; he understood Hautacam—in a way that would soon become very clear.

  • Eddy Merckx Chm Carbon Ally See Any of This Anyway
    road test - eddy merckx chm carbon ally see any of this anyway. as seems to be the fashion with every frame made from carbon these days, the bottom bracket seems enormous, especially on such an apparently diminutive frame, and now that the big two have gone for external bearings and oversized bb axles (in this case, a campag centaur ultra torq) it seems that everyone is worried that chris hoy might have a shot of their bikes. for someone who is spindly of stature, this seems like fashion overkill, but hey ho. the top tube did exactly the same as the down tube - moved from a vertically oval shape to a horizontally oval tube, which looked tremendously cool on the top tube because it was almost flat by the time it joined the seat tube. the down tube would have given a cannondale a good run for its money in terms of size, but the frame- set looked perfectly balanced overall, even if it initailly you would sort of wonder whether it’s a great idea to looked way too small for me to pedal. ask a confirmed colnago owner/aficionado to review a the fork was sort of midway between curved and bike not made by ernesto, because there’s a danger that straight, smoothly blending into the head tube by the all i’m going to do is compare one with the other. well, i iplementation of an fsa integrated headset. i must say wished not to fulfil this stereotype during my three day that i am not in favour of integrated headset (neither ride to paris on an eddy merckx chm full carbon frame, is chris king) - not because they don’t work: they do, and i hope i have managed to achieve this.

In a different mood Armstrong dubbed the Tour as "the most gallant athletic endeavor in the world." He may well have been right on both occasions. The Tour de France was created by Henri Desgrange who was looking for a way to promote his cycling newspaper, L'Auto. In the first year it was a simple six-stage loop of 2,428 kilometers around France. Riders worked alone with no crew or assistants to help them along the way. In 1906, to add to the challenge, a stage was added into the Pyrenees.

  • Tom Boonen Neemt Afscheid Van De Wielersport in Stijl
    Tom Boonen, 'Paris-Roubaix' -09/04/17 (BELGA, David Stockman) apr 28, 2017 15:00 CEST Tom Boonen neemt afscheid van de wielersport in stijl Van alle Belgische sporters was oud-wielrenner Tom Boonen een van de meest vernoemde in Belgische media, zowel print als online. Dat blijkt uit cijfers die Belga Solutions berekend heeft. Zijn afscheidsmaanden als wielrenner werden intensief gevolgd door professionele nieuwsmedia maar ook door de vele fans die Boonen in zijn carrière verzamelde. Belga Solutions keek ook naar de media-aanwezigheid van zevenkampster Nafi Thiam en hockey-speler John-John Dohmen. Hun media-aanwezigheid ligt betrekkelijk lager dan die van Boonen maar EK goud en een titel van ‘beste hockeyer ter wereld’ zorgen toch voor een groot aantal media-vermeldingen. Dat Tom Boonen populair is, is geen nieuws maar sinds hij een jaar geleden aankondigde zijn carrière te zullen beëindigen na Parijs-Roubaix 2017 was hij niet meer uit het nieuws weg te denken. De eerste piek sinds begin dit jaar viel op 25 februari, toen Boonen zijn laatste Omloop Het Nieuwsblad reed. Boonen moest opgeven na twee valpartijen en uitte zijn ongenoegen daarover. Die dag werd Boonen 886 keer vermeld in printmedia, online media of via Twitter. Een tweede piek was er op 2 april, toen de Ronde van Vlaanderen werd gereden. Een week voor zijn grote afscheid kreeg Boonen voor de start van Vlaanderen’s mooiste in Antwerpen een eerbetoon en ook langs het parcours werden verschillende tifo’s en VIP-tenten ter ere van Boonen ingericht. Niet Boonen maar ploeggenoot Philippe Gilbert won die dag waardoor de ploeg alsnog zeer tevreden was.
