Thank you for the explanation.
I was watching the race last Sunday and while I got the connection to WW I and the strade bianche, I was wondering about the name.
(BTW, I loved to see Marianne Vos win the ladies' version. Nice to see that even
L'Eroica participants can win a real race every now and then.
