Axel Merckx

[TMB]

Axel Merckx will be running a bicycle tour company, at least in the early stages he plans, accoroding to him, to concentrate on the Belgian and Northern Classics routes.

Something in the order of 10 people per tour group.

Factory Tours included.

He is setting up a web page that will have the details and expects that it will be "live" just around January 1.

I thought he was signing on to be a team director for a US team?? Did that fall through?

I think a change of mind.

200 days a year away from home - with small kids at home.

But they Axel lives in Canada no? I guess at least this way he's still close to family.

I was in Meise a couple weekends ago and stopped by the factory but it was locked up tight. I did run into Mrs. Merckx as she was leaving but Eddy wasn't home :(

Seems like a good guy to do a tour with and at least you'd have entree to the factory, etc.
