Strade Bianche 2025
Above: photo from our first visit to the race
Today the real racing season is almost ready to start, maybe it is starting with this tasty appetizer?
Why do Anglo-Saxons always seem set on "fixing" things Italian? They don't like:
"I saw dead bodies everywhere. I have no words – it was like an old-school race, truly hardcore. At 140 kilometers, everyone was already dead. Normally, the race would have been 185 kilometers, but we still had 75 more to go.” Tom Pidcock in 2024
Seems to Zio Lorenzo that pro cycling thrives on ideas like those - though these daze they don't actually DO stuff like that so much...if they can avoid it.
What do you think? We've gone to see it live, in-person 4-5 times (each time is noted on the blog but Zio didn't go back and count) and never miss it on TV. Should it be added to the 5 monuments? Probably not, let's just leave it as an epic race that most riders would love to win during their career while the whiners and hack journo's...whine.
Highlights from the race HERE if you missed it.
On the other hand, one of these clowns does have a colleague who knows what he's talking about.
