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.

  • Lance Armstrong's shared victory with Viatcheslav Ekimov, was stripped in 2012 due to doping. So now there is only one winner of the 2000 race.
