Rabottini likes torture. He spent 100km by himself on stage 15 of a shitty wet Giro day only to be caught by Joaquin Rodriguez, but still had the energy left to sprint him for the line. Good ride.

Shuttle ENTERPRISE Waits For The NY Debut
The prototype space shuttle Enterprise is seen mated on top of NASA’s modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft at Dulles International Airport in Virginia on Friday.
Enterprise was the first orbiter built for the space shuttle program, but never went into orbit. It was used primarily for ground and flight tests within the atmosphere.
Enterprise had been on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia, but is now being prepared for its new home at the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum in New York.
