Eddy Merckx's health condition is improving, Belgian media report, as the 81-year-old all-time great of the sport returned to riding a bike outdoors for the first time in months.
Merckx confirmed the news with an Instagram reel showing footage of himself and daughter Sabine out on a sunny afternoon's ride, with Merckx himself using an e-bike to amble along a bike path, likely somewhere near his home in Belgium.
