Merckx is lucky he rode when he did. If he was riding today he would be attacked on this forum for not being a smart rider. Too often he just went to the front and set a pace that was too fast for the rest of the field - rode everyone off his wheel. Now people would say if he had only used his team more or stayed in the peloton more and saved his energy he would have won even more races.
