“I don’t want this to be a circus,” he said.
Right..... |

Same.
At least that way he would also ride against all the negativity and beat it. I would wish him the best. Most people cannot even hope for such a 20th-year-anniversary (cycling one) at age 50+, but he really could possibly do this (finish the real race). Chapeau to him if he does try it. |

It's Andrea Tafi. Of course he wants to make it a circus.
Just go ride the Fondo with the rest of the punters. |

Where's Rock Racing when you need them? I thought they were "Here to stay."
A few years ago Alexi Grewal tried a comeback at age 50. That did not go so well. But I don't know if he was riding 18,000 km per year. |

Despite my above comment there does exist some nostalgia or fondness or something from the glory days of Mapei-which coincided with my introduction into the sport-that has survived all the doping cynicism. So I have to smile. Agree he should totally ride a C-40.

The Mapei team all tested at the Mapei sports center. Tafi knows (or can find out) how many watts per kg he was putting out then, and whether he can do 80% of that now.

"Let me dream. Let me taste this impossible mission.” I like it. It's romantic. We all should have something big we are chasing to keep us going.
