Grand Prix Eddy Merckx

Grand Prix Eddy Merckx was a cycle race around Brussels, where Eddy Merckx was born. It was held between 1980 and 2004, disappearing after the creation of the UCI ProTour in 2005. The race was initially an individual time trial, becoming a Team time trial of two riders in 1998. It usually had a duration of 60-70 km, with the 2003 being the shortest at 26 km because of a nearby fire.

With the introduction of the UCI ProTour in 2005, there were plans to merge the race with Paris–Brussels. This merger was eventually never completed, by which the race disappeared from the calendar.
