Gironimo! Riding the Very Terrible 1914 Tour of Italy

The event sounds almost legendary for how difficult and bizarre it was. I'm curious whether the author uncovered new stories or if it’s more about celebrating the absurdity of that race.

The book’s funny anecdotes really brought the tough conditions to life. I wonder if humor helps readers connect emotionally with the cyclists' struggles.

There must have been countless moments from over a century ago. It’s interesting to see which moments were chosen to shape the narrative — I wonder if it was a creative decision or based on available sources.
