525 career wins and five Tour de France titles — the most dominant cyclist in history.
Eddy Merckx's 525 professional victories are a record that has never been approached. His nickname "The Cannibal" reflects his refusal to ease off even when victory was assured. He won the Tour de France five times, the Giro five times, and set the Hour Record in 1972.
He won every type of race — sprints, climbs, time trials, one-day classics — with equal dominance.
