Spartacus

Another cycling moment.

Walking to the town on the road with a name that might be longer than the road itself. Strade Communial di Monte Sante Marie Torre a Castello. Whew. It’s one of the white gravel roads of Tuscany. We came across a monument stone, dedicated to Fabian Cancellara AKA “Spartacus”. (For non cyclists, he is a professional cyclist, now retired, of incredible stature). He has the record for the most victories at Strade Bianche at three, and is reported to love the place. Fortunately for the race commentators this sector of gravel is briefly called Monte Sante Marie which is 11.5 k of hilly gravel starting at kilometer 130.
So, he is a super hero, and now his name is on a big block of rock.
