The
Daily
Peloton’s
good
friend
Francesco
sent
this
report
on
the
mood
of
the
fans
at
Varazze,
but
this
is
not
a
stencil
-
you
must
write
about
whatever
you
want
to
say.
In
the
meantime
though,
read
this
great
article
and
good
luck
to
all!
A
DAY
IN
VARAZZE
I
went
on
Saturday,
looking
for
the
Giro
stage
finish
in
Varazze,
and
saw
the
great
victory
of
Giovanni
Lombardi...and
the
incredible
Graeme
Brown
finishing
40
minutes
behind
the
leader,
being
out
of
maximum
time
and
excluded
from
the
race.
But
even
if
nobody
was
talking
about
doping,
it
was
easy
to
know
what
was
in
the
people's
mind
when
Garzelli
arrived
with
what
could
be
the
last
Pink
of
his
life.
The
worst
thing
is
that
people
who
makes
use
of
doping
kills
slowly
the
passion
of
everybody
of
the
common
people!
I
was
in
the
last
metres,
near
the
finishing
line
of
the
stage
of
Varazze
and
I
still
saw
many
lovers
of
cycling,
beginning
from
the
"amateurs"
that
came
with
their
bikes,
and
to
fathers
of
families
waiting
for
hours
under
the
rain
just
to
see
the
sprint
of
the
"heroes"
of
the
street!
Well,
it
was
all
so
nice,
but
I
didn’t
see
the
usual
happiness
of
past
years,
people
still
love
the
cyclists,
even
Garzelli
with
his
clean
face
and
the
pink
jersey,
the
man
who
was
our
ideal
sportsman
till
3
days
ago,
but
now
they
don’t
really
know
if
they
can
trust
in
the
"Peloton,"
if
there
are
some
really
100%
clean
cyclists,
if
it’s
really
right
to
be
emotioned
and
happy
for
the
effort
of
those
supermen
of
the
bike!
In
my
opinion
(and
I
think
in
that
of
most
of
people
who
love
the
sport)
it
would
be
a
thousand
times
better
to
see
a
clean
rider
winning
at
35
km/h
of
speed
than
like
happens
now:
a
"dirty"
group
going
like
motorbikes
(as
Romano
and
Varriale
said)
running
at
42
km/h!
We
don’t
wanna
see
the
limit
of
humans,
just
the
limit
of
CLEAN
ones!
If
the
men
of
cycling
(not
only
the
cyclists)
won’t
understand
this...perhaps
in
some
years
it
will
be
too
late,
people
won’t
trust
anymore
and
give
up
from
cycling
-
there
are
many
other
ways
of
having
fun
and
being
involved,
so
why
by
making
a
suicide
of
themselves?
