Tweevoudig wereldkampioen over de heroïek en de tragiek van een wielrenner: “Ik geniet weer van het leven”

De Zondag, Paul Cobbaert, 24 September 2017

Freddy Maertens is een groot kampioen. Twee wereldtitels, drie groene truien en vijftien ritten in de Tour, één Vuelta die hij domineerde van start tot finish. Maar de West-Vlaming, vandaag 65, kende ook diepe dalen. Geldzorgen in de eerste plaats. Heroïek en tragiek gaan vaak hand in hand. Dat symboliseert Maertens als geen ander.

Parla l'ex campione belga: il suo duello di 40 anni fa e la corsa di oggi: "È l'ultima volta al via per Tom Boonen. Mi spiace che smetta: è stato al livello di Van Looy"



Ci vuole pazienza e carattere.

"Il mondo è cambiato e il ciclismo, giustamente, lo ha seguito. Paesi come Cina e Qatar sono mercati importanti ma il cuore del ciclismo deve restare in Europa". Le parole sono quelle di Freddy Maertens: braccialetto giallo "Livestrong" al polso, sciarpa al collo, vestito gessato elegante ma giovanile.



One of the greatest racers of all time speaks his mind.

Today Freddy Maertens works at the Centrum Ronde Van Vlaanderen museum in Oudenaarde, Belgium, and there I sat down with Maertens joined by my wife Carol, writer Les Woodland and his wife Stephanie to spend a couple of hours going over his fabulous career. On a personal note, I found him to be a fun, charming man who has given his own career and cycle racing in general a lot of thought.
