The support that Visma LAB sent to the #GirodItalia for Cian is honestly embarrassing. Half the team for a sprinter who can't sprint and rest of the team filled up with climbers that can't climb. 2km into final climb nobody is left to help, what the fuck is this?

Marco Pantani on Oropa 1999 - The comeback of the century.

After a mechanical, Pantani catches - and drops - every rider ahead, pushing 7,11ᵉw/kg for 17'04min.
