Now that's a climb!

When cars can't get up it, and the motorbikes start roasting their clutches, and the pros are running 36:28

you know that shit's got real.

mental. motorbikes keeling over on hairpins. 30 mph run ins, lads riding off the wrong way.

italian races are ace.

looking forward to giro proper even more now too.

Apparently that's one of my riding buddies home region, and we may be going out there this autumn, think we'll give this particular climb a miss though, unless there's an easier side!

That climb was sadistic, suprized how they went for it after coming over the top, superhuman effort. Chapeau!

I liked him in The Usual Suspects, but Fear and Loathing was a bit rubbish.
