Dressed in his iconic white combination jersey, Merckx can be seen cycling along the Plympton bypass with determination and grace. His focused expression reveals a fierce competitor ready to conquer any challenge that lies ahead. Little did spectators know at that moment that Merckx would go on to claim victory in the general classification. This particular stage holds immense significance as it was held in Plymouth to commemorate the United Kingdom's entry into the Common Market.
