Krabbe understood it..the essence of the sport..the loneliness..doubt…the emphasis not on the podium finish..not on the triumph..but rather the humility in defeat… the victory in suffering…the emptiness in the unforgiving moments on the rivet…the mountains of doubt..the swell tide of relief at the finish…the verdict…

pick it up.. read it…its the quintessential novel on cycling…you can almost hear the chains humming…UF
