Review:
"The first edition was like a dark-haired Italian beauty. I had a serious crush. Reading the second edition for this review was like going back to see her again and discovering she was even more beautiful, perhaps more voluptuous and certainly more worldly...MAGLIA ROSA now ascends to the top of my list of English-language books about the Giro d’Italia." - CycleItalia
