Just terrible news, and The Guardian have put an awful article up about the race, barely bothering to pay tribute to Goolaerts before going on a smug diatribe about how proper fans prefer classics to stage races. Really fucking weird.

Didn’t have any problem with that other than it being a poor article.

La Passione sent out an apology this morning after using the race as a commercial opportunity while Goolaerts was in hospital.

Yeah, I thought the same as you about the Guardian write-up... and while La Passione's email was a genuine error, Rapha decided to put out their Race Radio jolly today, with a couple of mentions of Michael Goolaerts awkwardly squeezed in. Not even 24 hours... not great.
