The Giro d'Italia this year has been besieged by terrible weather. How do you feel
when you watch those conditions now, Milan - San Remo this year for example
and the riders being besieged by snow and things. Does it bring back good memories
or bad?
At this point, I'm old enough, all memories, if I can
remember a bike race it's all good.
My defeats
my failures
it's all good. I don't...
I feel sorry for the racers racing in bad conditions
but I also feel sorry for them when they're having a bad day whether it's
hot
or perfect climate out. It's going to be known as the cold
year - I hope it warms up, especially now that the Giro is heading for the
Dolomites and the Alps.
So far it's it's been an infamous year also for them
it's the same for everyone. I know that's an
easy generalisation to make
I hope the clothing is better than it was back in my era.
When you're
soaking wet and it's near freezing
and you're traveling at 40 to
100km per hour up and down hills. It's cold, those guys are
earning their money.
