Fucking hell - why does everyone have to take everything so literally. If you run hot, or have a high sweat rate whilst doing high intensity riding, merino is probably not the best material for you to wear as a base layer. You'll need one of the pro team ones (or just one of the Craft mesh ones which are half the price).
I only wear merino for commuting (as a single layer) and in the winter - all other times I would rather have lots of thin layers.
