Pro bike: Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise’s Eddy Merckx EMX-525

Belgian ProContinental team's bike spotted in Yorkshire

A Belgian team riding bikes bearing the name of Belgium’s greatest ever cyclist – or, rather, the greatest ever cyclist. It’s an obvious fit.

The Cannibal’s Eddy Merckx Cycles brand supply Belgian UCI ProContinental team Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise, who were in town earlier this month for the Tour de Yorkshire on the flagship Eddy Merckx EMX-525.

Though it has been the team’s bike of choice since 2013, the aggressive, angular tube profiles still make the EMX-525 a real head-turner today.
