What follows bounces around a bit but it does show Merckx's dedication to training and preparation that led to him winning the 1974 World Championships. No other cyclist in history has been as successful as Merckx, and the Men's 1974 Road World Championships Montreal, Canada Bibshort from Santini is a fitting tribute to The Cannibal's third and final championship.
