Subject: [CR]June Cycle Sport Mag. Includes Classic Sections

This month's "Cycle Sport" magazine includes a 33 page section on some of the great classics races, plus other stuff that may be of interest to this list:

pg.46 - "Classic Stages" - Major tours that used famous sections of Classics in them. Includes a great pic. of the 1967 TdF w Roger Pingeon on his Peugeot.

pg. 87-119 - "The Greatest Classics" (I am sure some here will disagree!) - Flanders 1969, Roubaix 1950, Liege 1980, Roubaix 1952, San Remo 1964, Liege 1984, Flanders 1977, San Remo 1961...and some others with dates that I cannot mention on this list!

pg. 142-147 - "In the Shadow of Merckx - Felice Gimondi", includes an inset called "The Day I Beat Eddy". They do this section every month.

pg. 156 - "Dug Out - 1975 Het Volk" - They take a picture from an old race and give you a brief history of the 6-10 riders in the picture.

Anyhow, the magazine focuses on Euro road racing, but seems to always include a healthy amount of classic stuff in it...something which my letters to them will encourage. It is on magazine stands at bookstores like Borders. A bit expensive ($6.25), but worth the price in my opinion.
