Has anyone else been watching the 2011 Giro presentation?Anyhow looks like the historical theme hook is catching on for all the big tours now. This one commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Italian unification...Garibaldi and the redshirts and all that. The last stage is in the town that marked the culminating battle between Garibaldi's army and the papal states.
Maybe they should step up for the 2011 Single Speed World Championships, too. Lots of room for theatrics with that anniversary. One trembles to imagine the kind of bus they could arrange..."
I think every stage winner at next year's Giro should get a repro of the little embroidered pillbox cap with the tassel that Garibaldi wore in his later years. Nothing like history to reinvent style.
