Bartali — not your typical ELITE cyclist

[Supermau]

“”Good is something you do, not something you talk about,” Bartali once explained. “Some medals are pinned to your soul, not to your jacket.”

Brilliant words.

Nice article.

Note that not all coverage of pro cyclists is negative and not all pro cyclists are bad. Re doping, I don’t see pro cycling as any worse (or better) than most of the major sports out there (baseball, football, soccer, Olympic track & field, etc.). Doping is a problem, but it’s far from just a cycling problem. And cycling doesn’t have the problems with domestic abuse and assault (and even murder and serial killing) that football does.
