Well,Aksel Munthe ran from Finland to Messina to help the survivors of the 1908 quake and tsunami, like he narrates in his book "Story of San Michele". There was an article on La Repubblica Friday magazine about today's Capri and its problems with too many tourists. Munthe was not mentioned. Tullio |

Well Axel Munthe also lived in a Lapp cot above the pole circle, endured the cholera of Naples, and was mountaineering the Matterhorn, There are many myths about him. Self appointed of course:) And Axel Munthe attracted women. He turned out to be a virtuoso in the art of seduction. When our Queen Victoria, always suffering, died in April 1930, sixty-seven years old, Axel Munthe stood at her bed. "Come soon", her last words should have been. |

According to Froome it was not meant that the Team Sky should attack today but tomorrow. And tomorrow the third Alpine stage features famous climbs: Col de la Madeleine, Croix-de-Fer and L'Alpe d'Huez! |

When Froome attacked, I went after him and felt good. Then we were slowed up and I went down. I don't know what happened. |

Tour de France: stage 16 sabotaged by protesting farmers Thomas and Froome amongst riders affected by police pepper spray. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-france-stage-16-sabotaged-by-protesting-farmers/ Not quite 30km into the day, stage 16 of the Tour de France was halted for 15 minutes after a roadside protest. Farmers rolled hay bales onto the road to narrow and a number of riders needed treatment for problems with their eyes, apparently due to police using pepper spray or tear gas to try to control the protesters. |

Tour de France Carcassonne- Bagneres de Luchon 1 Julien Alaphilippe France I don't think that the people who stopped the race were farmers. They were simply searching for their 15 minutes of celebrity. We shall see more of this, also because the Manager of the Sky team has said harsh words about France and Frenchmen. |

Team Sky manager Dave Brailsford has blamed the hostile roadside reaction his team have faced at the Tour de France on a 'French cultural thing' and suggested that the race omit non-French teams if they are not treated with more respect. “It's like a French cultural thing really, isn't it? That's it. I'm not sure that they would have liked their football players spat at in Russia [at the World Cup -ed]. I'm sure that there would be a word or two about that. But it's okay to spit on us and our staff." |

In 1950 with Fiorenzo Magni leader the Italian national team was retired by Gino Bartali (a Just among the Nations) because of the French public behavior towards a foreign team. Sky may retire its team too, depending on what happens now. Tullio |
