Purito earns a stupid hat and a different jersey

September 7, 2015 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

Stage 15 was notable for a rare sighting of the fabled Haimar Zubeldia, a man of such astonishing invisibility that he has five Tour de France top ten finishes to his name without anyone even…

The Schlecks become Frank Schleck

October 10, 2014 · by Alex · in General

The Schlecks – Tour de France riders to know and love

June 27, 2012 · by Alex · in Tour de France
