No sound but a picture tells a thousand words as they say.

Excellent video

And oh yeah - the 'good ol' days' - when real men did those ridfes without helmets and gloves plus a spare tire wrapped around your neck in case of a flat !!

But I think Fausto must have doped !!!! .... (okay, only kidding .... )

The Giro d'Italia is just around the corner! Woooooo HOOOOOOO!!!!

Can't wait! If its anything like last year it will be better than the Tour and definitely the Vuleta! The past two editions have been much more exciting and action packed than the Tour by far. I feel the Giro is picking away at the Tour's fan base or at least mine.

Who can you beat pure excitement vs history lessons as the Tour goes over the boring sections? The Giro announcers also get credit for raising the roof with their super excitement at announcing the race, they do it best RAI! Now if they'd sell their RAI kit, I'd buy one in a minute!

Excellent video. And oh yeah - the 'good ol' days' - when real men did those rides without helmets and gloves plus a spare tire wrapped around your neck in case of a flat !!

You forgot about the fact that most of the paved roads were cobblestones, and the mountain passes were dirt!
