The fable of the giro d’Italia

ivan basso sul mortirolo

It is an incredible emotion to assist to the show of the giro d’Italia… Thousands of people labouring by foot or bicycle since early in the morning, in order to see, encourage and wheel their own favorites (Basso, Simoni, Cunego, Savoldelli). A contagious enthusiasm. At the end of a true battle the best, Ivan Basso, has won, leaving more or less nothing to the other pursuers. It is incredible to see how simply they faced the roughness of the Mortirolo, the same climbing road on which we were labouring so much during the morning!

12 years ago, when we saw you so fast and serene, we were just children… but the passion that you have left to us will never disappear, even if we don’t know all the truth… thank you, marco

Deleted for doping, hoping in a better and clearer future.
