Ten years on, Alberto still gets the better of Andy. Who seems to be cheating.

Excellent in-depth analysis of this rematch by Lanterne Rouge on youtube! On a more serious note, I really miss cycling. I watch football (real football, not american) regularly and have some favorite teams, but nothing can beat a decently exciting bike race.

Wonder if the result was fixed as usual in crits or if it was a real race

If he had won in a sprint for sure it was fixed LOL. But he rode away and stayed away so we'll never know. He's in great shape. maybe the others not so much, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt .

Winning a sprint would feel too much like attacking for Andy

 

[Red Rick]

He's one of the most recently retired riders in that bunch, and he still rides a lot. Especially sprinters who retired much longer ago not closing a gap isn't that big a surprise.

What a shame! With him travelling all over the world alone it must be difficult to be his spouse. I feel sorry for Luca the most

It just shows how dramatic change from competitive sport to retirement routine is.

 

[Red Rick]

That's sad. Mostly for the kid.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I suspect that quite a few pro athletes marriages come under significant strain in the years immediately after retirement.
