	SBN: Eddy Merckx's views on Lance
		Like Merckx, Armstrong is not a man who has ever expected defeat and, as the American predicted to the old champion, he has come to the final day of his final Tour with his seventh victory in the bag.

		Merckx does not believe that the way Armstrong races is beneficial for the sport, with its sole emphasis on one race, the Tour de France, putting the rest of the calendar in the shade.

		Last year I moved to San Francisco, the hotbed of American cycling, and a few weeks ago I saw a posting about a charity ride with Eddy Merckx and I said to myself "self...this is a ride I can't miss".
