Thousands of people lining the streets. A passionate crowd awaiting the main event parting like a sea as their heroes arrive at the destination that could change their lives forever. No, I’m not talking about the royal wedding. It’s stage 14 of the Giro d’Italia and today we finish on arguably the toughest climb in European cycling, the Monte Zoncolan, AND an Englishman, Simon Yates, is the overall race leader by 47 seconds.
He's about 4 minutes behind in GC (general classification) But he's hoping for a big day today; he spent a lot of time with the mechanics this morning setting his bike's gear ratios for the big climb.
