 Following the culmination of months of training, a fresh season of professional cycling has sprouted in Europe. Often overshadowed by the pageantry of the warmer Grand Tours, the Spring classics fail to get the coverage and attention they deserve, at least in the eyes of an international market. Travel to the Netherlands, Belgium, or the Italian countryside in March and April, however, and you will find what can truly be considered the "soul of cycling" (referenced in the linked article by Richard Williams).
Although it can be difficult to grasp for the casual American sports fan, introduced to cycling through the fervor "LiveStrong culture", cycling defines heroism, strength, and the opportunity to achieve greatness for many Europeans. Enjoy this article on the recent success of a wolf pack that happens to ride bikes, and appreciate that the best stories sometimes come when our season's begin. www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2019/mar/04/quick-step-team-cycling

It has been an entire year already since I won this championship. I am not interested in the idea of losing my title, so I always do my best. I know that this is not the peak of my career, but I really do value my championship here. I will try to be the best champion that this league has ever seen. I am probably the one to do it, so I will make history by being the only undefeated champion. Leave a Reply. |
