an excerpt:
Now we have the mountains on the horizon. It is my terrain. Everyone is asking me if I am going to attack. If I can, of course I will have to do it, but first I have to know where I am exactly, and this will be when we get to the first serious climb of the race. I know that even with the weight of the time I have lost, my rivals still consider me a a danger in the general. Because of this, they will not let me go from far out, but that is the best way to reduce differences. But still, I won't have to race in desperation... I have to be cold and aggressive at the same time - I have to go with my shotgun loaded.
I love these guys, I am after all, part Basque.

They have the highest percentage of Type O blood (55%) by population, and the lowest Rhesus factor
