That is probably the best article I've ever seen in Wikipedia.
Thorough, no fluff and no biased bull****.*


“It's a ********, this race!” said de Rooij. “You're working like an animal, you don't have time to ****, you wet your pants. You're riding in mud like this, you're slipping ... it’s a pile of ****.”
When then asked if he would start the race again, de Rooij replied:
“Sure, it's the most beautiful race in the world!”
