January 23: The road racing season is just getting started. Cycling writer David L. Stanley sent me his 2023 season preview: 16 Things I want to See This season.
News:
Each week I'm posting a photo of a winner of the Giro d'Italia, in year order.
For this week, here is a photo of 1982 Giro d'Italia winner Bernard Hinault in action during that Giro, but I don't know which stage.
Bernard Hinault's major competition in that Giro was Bianchi, with Tommy Prim and Silvano Contini.
Hinault was fortunate in that Bianchi wouldn't give Swedish rider Prim 100% backing, hoping that Italian Contini would win.
Regularly Hinault was isolated, without teammates, but he was never seriously challenged.
After winning the 1982 Giro Hinault went on to win the Tour de France, finally giving him the coveted Giro/Tour double.
We have results for every stage of every edition of the Giro d'Italia. You can find them here.
Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger) is the motto of the International Olympic Committee. After reading Les Woodland’s The Olympics’ 50 Craziest Stories the reader might wonder if the motto should be Sillier, Loonier, Crazier.
There is the gentle rower who was winning his race when he stopped his scull to avoid scattering a mother duck and her ducklings—we’ll let your read the book to find out how he did—and the American socialites who showed up for a golf game in Paris and accidentally ended up in the Olympic golf contest. There was so much confusion that year they never learned one of them had become Olympic champion. Oh, and the men’s Olympic golf champion had actually journeyed to Paris to play tennis.
In addition to the 50 stories of competitors behaving badly, or at least oddly, Les Woodland has sprinkled collections of interesting and sometimes improbable Olympics facts throughout, making The Olympics’ 50 Craziest Stories fun from cover to cover.
The Olympics' 50 Craziest Stories is available in Kindle eBook, print & audiobook versions here on Amazon.
What you'll find in our site:
The Tour de France. Lots of information, including results for every single stage of every Tour.
Other important bike races: the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España, along with the classics, stage races, national championships, world records, and Olympics.
We keep a running record of the races going on in the current year, with results, photos, maps, etc. We've been doing this since 2001, so the results for this year as well as previous years are available here.
This site is owned and run by McGann Publishing. We're a micro-publisher specializing in books about cycling history. Interested? Here's information on our titles in print.
We are devoted to cycling and all of its characters and events. The sport's past matters to us. We've been interviewing anyone who will sit down and talk to us, then writing up the interviews, and collecting other stories about cycling. We have rider histories—the stories of individual riders, many by the great cycling writer Owen Mulholland. We have our oral history project—the results of our interviews. And we've collected lots of photos over the years, of racers, racing, manufacturing, etc., which we have arranged into photo galleries for your enjoyment.
Being in the bike business for many years, we had to opportunity to travel a lot in Europe, riding bikes, attending trade shows, etc. We've written up many of our travels, and had some contributions from others whose travels differed from ours.
What would the day be without the funnies? Our friend Francesca Paoletti has drawn a series of comics about bike related stuff, poking fun at us along the way.
If you are interested in bikes, sooner or later you will want to know some technical information about bikes. We have articles here about bike weight, how bike frames are prepped and assembled, selected bike parts, and others.
And then there's food! The bicycle runs on the human engine, and the human engine runs on food, so of course we're interested in that.
Along the way we've been privileged to meet many people in and around the bike business who do things we like. The folks whose ads are up there on the right are friends of ours who we believe conduct their business knowledgably and honorably; here are a few others who do stuff we like.
