I wish I was Eddy Merckx

[mr_brooks]

In a moment of tedium at work (there are many) I wondered what Google would throw at me if I told it

"I wish I was Eddy Merckx"

The sixth link took me to the eulogy he delivered at the funeral of Tullio Campagnolo, at

Eddy Merckx's Eulogy

I'd never seen this before and was quite moved by it...

"You deserve to belong to our life's memories because, rider like us, you have known before us our fatigue, and you have helped us.... Thanks to you, there is a piece of Italy with your name on all the bicycles of the world"
 
And that's why Campagnolo is better.

Well, it's one of many reasons.

Thanks for that. Campyonly has seemed a bit quiet in recent years, never seen that before.
