During his extraordinary career, Eddy Merckx won Paris-Nice three times (1969, 1970 and 1971).
The edition in 1969 was one of those few times, when he had the chance to compete against Jacques Anquetil, who rode his last Paris-Nice that year.
Merckx became 1st, Anquetil 3rd, and it’s quite symbolic, that the thord man on the final podium was Raymond Poulidor.
