“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”
Every December 8 on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, firefighters in Rome honor the Virgin Mary by placing a wreath of flowers on her statue.
Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies. At least that’s how it has been in the last 80 years. We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.
Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump: “Do we really have to treat people like that? The meme where he’s flying with the crown and spewing excrement all over the people. Would Lincoln have done that? I think people in the midwest where I am, we value our decency and our civility”
The loyal and beloved teammate Simone Petilli retires from professional cycling at 32 years old. His final race will be @IlLombardia ❤️
“I fulfilled the dream I had as a child: traveling the world by bike, racing against the champions I once watched on TV, then trying to imitate them by going out on my bike, climbing hills as hard as I could!
Becoming professional was my teenage goal. I achieved it, and almost without realizing it, my passion had become my job. I learned so much and lived experiences that very few people ever get to know… More than ten years, during which I met incredible people who taught me a lot and helped me become who I am today.
The Giro d’Italia — the race that all of Italy follows every May — I had the honor of racing it five times, being one of its actors, always driven by the dream of the Maglia Rosa, of a stage victory, or simply the pride of finishing it. I was not a Champion, but I had the privilege of riding alongside many of them. From each one, I learned something, strengthening my respect for every rider.”
“Being a professional cyclist means knowing how to get back up after every crash, facing every condition: rain, cold, or burning sun above 40 degrees. It means racing for three consecutive weeks, training every day, traveling under all circumstances, watching everything you eat, recovering properly, taking care of your body while pushing it almost every day to its absolute limits.”
“I had fun, I did everything I wanted (well, almost!). Now I feel it is time to turn the page, to grow and to look ahead. The future looks just as exciting! And now I want to give back to cycling everything it has given me…”
“My last Grand Tour is behind me, but my true farewell will be at my home race: Il Lombardia. See you there.
Thank you to everyone who supported me — there were so many of you! Thank you to all those I raced with, to the staff, the management, and to everyone who keeps this sport alive. Thank you to my family! Thank you, Cycling!
Once you’ve been a Cyclist, you can achieve anything in life!”
Directivo del equipo Israel Premier Tech. Me dice que en el Giro todo muy bien, en el Tour todo bien y en España el antisemitismo dirigido por el socialismo casi le cuesta la vida a dos ciclistas. Que fue un horror. Que el deporte que sirve para unir a la gente se usó en este país para dividirla.
