Ils l’ont fait: l’équipe australienne Orica-Green Edge a remporté le chrono par équipe aujourd’hui sur la première étape du Giro.
Preuve de l’esprit d’équipe unique de cette formation, ils ont offert au Canadien Svein Tuft le premier maillot rose… le jour de son anniversaire!
Bref, nous voilà avec un Canadien en rose sur le Giro! Pour Tuft, c’est la consécration et on est bien content pour lui.

Tellement content pour lui. Un spécial dans le peloton.
« One winter Tuft spent so much of his off-season skiing and snowboarding that when the time came around for training camp, he was short on base miles. So he simply rode down Highway 101 from Vancouver to team camp in Southern California, packing camping gear, a sack of potatoes, and Bear, drinking from streams and cooking by campfire. Because it was February, he faced wind and rains almost the entire trip.
Among those riders on Prime Alliance was Jonathan Vaughters, racing his final season as a pro. Vaughters, who would later hire Tuft to race for Garmin, told The New York Times that when Tuft arrived, “He had this really long beard, and he smelled very bad. I remember thinking, okay, this guy is completely different than the image of the typical European money-driven cyclist who buys Porsches in his spare time.”

lol Belle trouvaille Pierre. Effectivement c’est tout lui! Il est devenu le rouleur qui l’est à trainer son chien dans un chariot pendant des trips en cyclotourisme.

un article sympa à propos de Svein Tuft, joliment intitulé: « Vélo, traîneau et petits boulots : voici le coureur le plus cool du Tour de France »
