Giro 2011

Just reading about Tiralongo in the cycling press this morning. This was his first pro win in 12 years! I mean, fucking hell! How do you keep motivated, helping others win without any glory for yourself, for 12 years? I've nothing but respect for the bloke. What a great feeling it must be, winning a stage at the Giro, and getting a lead out from the pink jersey!

Dont forget, they get paid to ride bikes. Dont know if he has one, but feeding family would probably be his motivation.
