Giro in Hungary. In particular, I must go there, that he travels through such pretty lands :banana:. And right after that driveway to Etna, I'm in heaven :bounce:. Stage 20 looking at the profile itself will be one big slaughterhouse and the legs will burn with pain!!

Three individual time trials by the way (although only one of them is not a short one). That last week is going to be brutal again.

RIP Tour of California :(

 

 

 

It was always fun to watch a handful of world class riders fight with a whole bunch of local heroes while being ready to sleep. Tradition, if you will.

Saddest news I’ve seen all week :cry:. It was a yearly tradition of mine. It’s one of only a few cycling races I religiously. I have great childhood memories of watching races, of meeting the riders. It’s a shame that other kids won’t be able to do those things. 
Money ruins everything. Nothing has ever improved with money. Shit day to be a sports journalist in the US. I just get more and more tired of this country by the day. I really hope my generation brings change in the next few years.

One of the all-time greats has passed away, aged 83. Raymond Poulidor finished on the Tour de France podium eight (!) times, without ever winning it or even wearing the leader's jersey. His biggest wins include the Vuelta a España, Milan - San Remo and the Fleche Wallone, he also finished second once and third three times at the world championships. Poulidor also was the grandfather of David and Mathieu van der Poel.
