    At last, I can show off a shot of a raging @f_cancellara that now graces the cover of @VeloNews. Proud.

    R.I.P Fiorenzo Magni (December 7, 1920 - October 19, 2012). He won the Giro in 1948, 1951 and 1955 and the Tour the Flanders in 1949, 1950 and 1951

    During Stage 12 of the 1956 Giro descending from Volterra  Magni fell and broke his collarbone, but rode on to the finish then went to hospital. You better go home, they said. Better to stay in the Giro, he replied. The next day was a rest day. The “Lion” got himself bandaged up and back on the bike: Livorno-Lucca, Lucca-Bologna, the time trial climb from Bologna to San Luca. Since Magni couldn’t press on the handlebars on the climb, his mechanic Faliero Masi cut a piece of inner tube, tied it to the handlebars and told him to bite on it. It worked. He still made it all the way to Milan and finished second behind Charly Gaul.

    Thanks to Giro d’Italia for the text and la bicicleteria for the photograph.

    Castellania is an entire town shrine to Fausto and Serse Coppi. Goosebumps for a solid hour.

    Paris-Roubaix 2013

    The race is on: Cancellara, Vanmarcke and Stybar. 

    Zdenek Stybar was excelling at keeping in Cancellara in check and racing incredibly when he made contact with a spectator on a stretch of cobbles.  Although he stayed upright, his momentum was thwarted and he couldn’t make it back to the head of the race.

    (via 2013 paris-roubaix photos page-03)

    who would be the winner if….?

    he looked so strong, stronger than Vanmarcke.

    Damn if that ain’t racing. 

    Lost contact

    Tire pressure. Leading up to #Roubaix, it is checked, double checked, felt, worried over, obsessed over. The perfect tire pressure is chased like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    The cobbles, pavé, aren’t about bikes with gimmicky suspension or dampers, but tires and handling skills. “The right pressure is chased like a rainbow.”
