Giro d' Italia

The most beautiful race in all the world is how they call it, and really I think this is right on. I really enjoy watching this sport and really the pros are the ones that make it the most beautiful at times. This is a race much like the Tour de France but it is the Italian version. Every county if Europe pretty much has one with the three major ones being Italy, France and Spain. The Giro is always first in May, then the tour in June/ July and the one in Spain is usually in August. So this years Giro has been just great, really as exciting of a grand tour as there has been in some time. Tomorrow just so happens to be a very unique and grueling stage. An up hill time trial of just under 14km. However it is to the top of a ski resort and there are at time parts that are 25% plus is grade. Steeper than the puke. So steep that they cannot even pave it. So if you can wake up super early before school and go watch you should and then watch it everyday after because the lessons you can are many.
