Eddy Merckx himself is honoured with his new mural: "It is very nice to see that my career still appeals to the imagination so many years later.

Elke van Edom, owner of Café 't Klein Verlet, is also happy with the new mural. Eddy Merckx remains hugely popular after all these years as fans from all over the world continue to flock to his hometown. For example, fans from Mexico recently came by. "This mural is certainly an added value for the many fans and cyclists who pass by here. And of course, all visitors and cyclists are welcome to recharge their batteries in Café 't Klein Verlet."
