Eddy Merckx Signed Print- Tour de France 1970, 20 x 24 Inches, Cycling Photo For Sale

Eddy Merckx “525” Limited Edition

Merckx goes flat out at Stage 23 of the 1970 Tour de France. This 54km individual time trial was the last stage of the Tour, and Merckx already had the Tour all but sewn up: his 10’14” overall lead over second-place Joop Zoetemelk was virtually insurmountable. Not one to rest on his laurels, “Le Canibale” /”de Kanibaal” felt his job was not done until he crushed his competitors once more by winning the time trial stage by 1’47”. With that, the second of what in his career would eventually be five Tour de France victories was complete!

This limited edition series is set at 525 numbered lithographs to correspond and celebrate Eddy Merckx\'s unprecedented 525 career victories.

Each lithograph has been personally signed by Eddy Merckx and includes a certificate of authenticity issued by The Horton Collection.
