74-year-old Eddy Merckx, who fell heavily on a bike ride with friends on Sunday, is feeling better. Hit on the head and suffering from a haemorrhage, the Belgian champion had been rushed to the hospital in Dendermonde, near Ghent. According to information from the Belgian agency Sudpresse, he left the intensive care unit Monday afternoon but will remain hospitalized for a few days to undergo various exams. The anxiety was all the greater for the five-time winner of the Tour de France that he is carrying a pacemaker.
