Start
Key events can be any memorable event, for example an impressive victory but also a major crash, bold solo or anything that makes for sporting memories.
Standing on the virtual podium after two weeks of racing in the 2001 Giro d'Italia, Wladimir Belli was thrown out of the race after punching a spectator on the climb of Santa Barbara during stage 14. The victim, later revealed to be rival Gilberto Simoni's 18-year-old nephew, pardoned Belli, but the race jury was unanimous in their decision to disqualify the rider of Fassa Bortolo.
