Well here's some excitement in the world of cycling. The 4 days of DUNGkerque (as the riders call it) is about the least exciting race on the calendar. For one thing it's held in the unbelievably boring and dull part of northern France that everyone hates going to. The area is dull, gray and industrial. The racing is about the same, dull, gray and... well, not industrial, but pretty uneventful to say the least. In the past, some riders have been sent to the this race by their team, after much protest they are forced to go anyway, so uninterested in the event, they ride the first 2km of the first stage and then pull out and head home early. Yipee for the 4 days of Dungkerque, which will probably go unnoticed anyway, as all the real riders are heading a little further south to a little local race called the Giro d'Italia, thank God!
