Self made italian game. The first thing you find is that it is a hard one to get, since these guys do not answer emails (why do they have a website for, then?). And when the game finally appears on eBay the seller insist on not shipping outside Italy, no matter how har you try to convince him. Fortunately my friend Donato Pompei lent a hand and I finally received the game. By the way, the game is housed in a box that can be direcly sent by mail, as you can see, so every copy of the game is personalized I guess.

The game itself is ambitious (it does not use dice or lots) though somtimes there is a thin line between being ambitious and being pretentious.

The board is divided in two halves, on of which is common and the other is different for each stage. You can run several Giro stages or a Milan-San Remo.

You chose your favorite cyclist, each with his own individual features. The best options are Coppi, Merckx, Hinault or Indurain (looks like Armstrong had not won that many Tours when the game was released).

The riders,are... well... I think I am going to use ones from another game!

A complicated (or should I say "boring") energy-keeping table and some chance cards.

You  guessed it, it is not one of my favorite games.
