Es la hora.

In 2023, british menace Archie CROSS and local hero ROUGIER-LAGANE were beating of on the mythical slopes of Gran Bassin only to get humbled by Natnael BERHANE at the meta.
At the same time, James JOBBER being dropped out of the gruppo principal and another menace STEDMAN, then in maillot jaune, haplessly lachee'd.
Now those were the times.

Then in 2024 came the super doped team of Felt Felbermayr (ZOIDL's galacticos) with Piotr BROZYNA and Felix RITZINGER making everyone feeling a little stupid, putting 2 minutes solo back-to-back on the hopeless pedalton. BROZYNA was so sulphurous he was forced to retire at the ripe age of 31 (late twenties).

The shame was so big the 2025 edition was cancelled altogether.
