I'm pretty sure that it would have been deliberate to make the reference slightly oblique, among other things because it would have been inappropriate and probably not that popular, for people to ride around with Eddy Merckx' proper nickname on their chest. 'Vleeseter', though distasteful, at least looks like something that might have been a team name once to your average non-Dutch speaking person. Perhaps our resident Rapha employees will be able to elucidate.
I don't think NL is necessarily the target market for this one, unless they strike a chord with some rabid meat-eater over there. :)
