Il Giro

BTW, don't ask for approval when you make a controversial post Wait for a warning. If you remain respectful, agree to disagree, well, follow forum rules, no big deal. Things get heated sometimes and passions flare. WE can always agree to disagree.

With regards to Il Giro, it has always been the stage for epic moments, at times scandals, never dull. The '94 edition was IMO a classic, with a good design, Indurain the two-time winner defeated by a mutant Berzin and a newcomer: Marco Pantani.

Note: doping discussions are a no-no in this forum. The Clinic is that place. With that being said, there's a stage 4 video on YouTube and Berzin looks like a God. I will spare you the rest, but what a Giro that was!

I liked the HInault wins. The Moser/helicopter thing, wow!

Welcome to the forum and thank you for the contributions.
