Purito & Lombardy
Oh joy of joys... My man Purito has decided to delay retirement so that he can ride Lombardy again. He's also riding Milan-Turin, Piamonte, and Abu Dhabi before calling it a day.
And Lombardy, the best race in the calendar, has a new route out for it's 110th edition. Como to Bergamo, having gone the other way last year...

Not sure what to make of the course for this edition of Lombardy. It seems a shame to waste the Ghisallo, but then the last 100 kms look extremely tough.
I just hope it doesn't end up with a large bunch tearing it up the climb to Bergamo Alto like two years ago.0 -
Bizarre making him race if he doesn't want to - maybe they were hoping he'd throw a strop and they could stop paying him.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

I think we'd all love to stop work 5 months before our contract ends, but not sure how that works0
