Eddy Merckx Confirmed for Vegas Again!
Filed Under Industry News, Interbike, Interbike's 25th Anniversary
Just saw the happy news that the great Eddy Merckx will be making the trip to Las Vegas for the 25th Anniversary Interbike Expo this year. Bicycle Retailer confirmed that Eddy will again be in the Eddy Merckx/Gita booth (#2775) to greet attendees and sign autographs. This is always a highlight of the show for everyone.
He’ll be available from 11am to noon on Day One, and from 2–3 pm on Day Two.
For those that are familiar with Gita, they are a prominent importer and distributer of high end bikes and accesories such as Merckx, Pinarello, Pegoretti, Giordana and Deda Elementi.
And for those of you not familiar with Eddy, are you sure you’re at the right website?

Maybe this year I’ll manage to say more than “hi Eddy” and stammer away shaking… but I doubt it.
I mean, Eddy is THE legend of cycling. I get gossebumps standing anywhere near him.
The first time I went to I-Bike, in Anaheim, I was walking down an aisle and was talking to some random guy. As I turned around to walk away and check out the next booth I turned around and nearly stepped on Eddy’s toes. I dropped my bag full of crap and just stood there.
I’m such a dork.
