This was the last major race that Merckx won. Bill was in the Molteni team car, some nice shots from there! Check out the full photo set here:

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing them.

This one I like a lot. Apparently the photographer is riding shotgun in the Raleigh team car. The driver is Jan le Grand, chief mechanic and framebuilder for Peter Post's team. He'd worked for Merckx and Sercu before, and has mentioned he learned a lot about building frames from "old man" Gilardi. I don't think many have built more race-winning bikes than this man.
