After being punched on his way to the summit of the Puy de Dôme during the 1975 Tour de France, Eddy Merckx went to the changing rooms and put on his Molteni team tracksuit. Then he accompanied police officers back down the hill. He thought that he might recognize his assailant if he saw him.
It wasn’t difficult. Vigilante fans had surrounded the man and prevented him from making a getaway. At the time of the assault, Merckx had a good glimpse of him, and now he could see that, yes, that was him, in the beige jacket and white shirt. He didn’t look like a thug, and nor was he a young hooligan swept up in the anti-Merckx feeling that prevailed in France. He was a middle-aged man.
