Allez, Eddy! Page #4

Synopsis: The eleven year old cycling talent Freddy is the son of a butcher in an idyllic village in no man's land. His isolated life is turned upside down completely in 1975 when the first supermarket in the village opens its doors. To mark the opening the supermarket organizes a cycling race and the winner of that match will meet Eddy Merckx. Freddy's father is a fervent opponent of the supermarket and the competition, but Freddy subscribes behind his back. By participating in the race a new world opens, not only for Freddy, but also for all those around him.

The girls have to have dresses for the

party. I want everything to be perfect.

Jules wants his money.

This supermarket is upsetting everyone.

And everyone getting upset

about the supermarket is upsetting me.

I'm saving up and Jules can wait.

- Yes, Angel.

But I owe him more than 1,000 francs.

- There's only one solution.

What's that?

- Your sister.

I'll earn my own money, Angel.

If I ever have to ask anyone for money,

it definitely won't be Marjet.

I'd rather have a heart attack.

I'll give you a heart attack!

Come here, Tarzan.

- Angel!

Eddy Merckx is in a comfortable

position. The competition is behind him.

And there is Pollentier,

12 seconds behind Eddy Merckx.

He tries his luck. Hzard, from France,

is hot on his heels.

Merckx looks to see

where his teammates are and reacts.

He fights back against

Hzard and Pollentier.

Pollentier gets the message.

He stops pedalling.

Hzard also realises it is pointless.

There's no escaping it,

the Tour is in Eddy Merckx's genes.

There is only one leader of the peloton

and that's Eddy Merckx.

Here you are, your chops and sausages.

I don't need any sausages today, Andre.

It's Wednesday today. You've

always had sausages on Wednesday.

Shall I put them on your tab?

- No, I don't need any.

Jose doesn't feel well.

There you go.

- Thanks.

Right, bye, see you tomorrow.

Andre, people are putting their shopping

off until the supermarket opens.

Not Armand.

- He's the first, the rest will follow.

Not in Langeworp, Cecil.

- The world is revolving, Andre.

And the people with it.

But you have to be able to feel it.

Briek. Briek, follow me. Come on.

Still need new recruits?

A strong guy like him? Of course.

Briek.

- Briek?

Welcome to the Flemish Offensive.

Richard Embrechts.

Cyriel Swarts.

Cyriel Swarts is not here.

Bert De Bakker.

And Eddy Dermul.

- Yes.

Take this. Right...

We'll go round the course first.

Hold on tight.

Be careful.

Hello, rider.

Hello, Magique.

Marie.

Hello, Marie.

We turn right. Then we turn left.

We go past the baker's.

And past Dermul's butcher's shop.

- We'll see about that.

And then we go round

Langeworp's church.

Hold your race somewhere else!

OK? Right then.

Has everyone understood? Right...

The last part is hard

but the finishing line is at the top.

And remember, whoever wins our race

will be able to take part in

the race at Roubaix.

Eddy Merckx

will give you a medal.

See you tomorrow for the race.

Goodbye. Bye.

Hello. Or maybe I should say 'Bonjour'.

Then we'll understand each other better.

Hello.

What's that?

Photos of the... riders in race.

That's Maarten from Calf Street.

I've just seen him.
