The Ancients dedicated a Velomiskrit prayer to the Prophet, who cast into the rock of Mount Velomis, The Rules.
It is customary for a Velominatus to repeat this prayer prior to embarking on each ride in order to ensure safe passage and laying down of The V. The prayer should be closed by a moment of silence and flashing the Secret Sign of the Merckx.
Our hardman who art in Belgium
Eddy be thy name
Thy cobbles come, thy hands are numb
From pavé
As it isn’t heaven.
Give us this day our daily V,
And forgive us our Rule violations,
As we drop those who attack against us,
Lead us not off our line
But deliver us from Anti-V.
For thine is the big ring,
And the power, and the glory,
For Eddy and ever.
A-Merckx.

Our hardman, who art...
Holy shit. My head just exploded with the awesomeness. Someone give me a glass of frakkin' cool-aid.

@G'rilla
Ooh, nice...
1969 Tour de France Podium presentation Points Jersey. Signed by the deity that won said competition, The Prophet.
Cafe Roubaix's most recent acquisition. Merckx be praised.
@Dan_R
O! I think I just soiled myself....congratulations on a stunning addition to the collection!
Wait, is that signed by Merckx?
I know it's a signature & it's on a jersey, but I really can't make out an M or an E or a K or an X.
Oh well, cool jersey Dan!! Now you can go on club rides in style...
@Ron Yeah Ron. Pretty awesome. This will be made into a proper alter/hommage in the studio. The provenance of the signature is super reliable. Within the industry in Canada, my source for this and a few other super sweet bits, was a Campagnolo GM answering to Felice Gimnodi when he was at Campagnolo!
This prayer....on a shirt please!
