New Tudor Pro Cycling win Milan-Turin race the oldest race in the world ( Est.1876)..

First time Rolex or Tudor have entered sponsorship of a professional bike racing team, and they achieve a major win in their first season.

Tudor's watch profile (incl vintage hopefully, as all ships raise on a rising tide !) only going one way I suspect !! - Congrats Arvind De Kleijn, and all at Tudor Suisse HQ.

* Pls excuse the slight indulgence. I was a very mediocre semi-pro-cyclist 40 odd years ago (and I prize a 70/80's Colnago/Campagnolo as much as any Tudor/Rolex, as I suspect one or two of you do also), so great when two worlds collide *.

Watched the recap and nice to see this win. Always been a Fabulous Cancellara fan. Might have to see about sourcing some riding gear.

I used to race too, although at the citizen level. Many time trials, road races and criteriums on my 1980s Bianchi - Bianchi green of course! Will have to follow the Tudor team this season.

I'd love a Colnago, but I'm happy with my pair of old British bikes, a 60's Carlton Flyer and a 70's Team Raleigh, both in 531 and Campag gears etc.

I have a '89 DeRosa SLX with Campy etc, in my basement, as well as some other bikes....I gave up road riding years ago, simply too dangerous, too many close calls, and I knew my luck woudl eventually run out.

Cycling and watches for me too.
Currently riding custom titanium with Di2. (If you know, you know).
So nice to see Tudor involved in our sport.

It’s funny as I don’t have many friends who are into watches. Recently my bike club had a meet up for food and beers and noticed my buddy wearing the same 3861 Speedy as me. Next thing you know, there were five of us talking watches instead of bikes. Who knew there were watch enthusiasts among the guys I ride with daily! This watch hobby isn’t something I shout about from the rooftops, so it was nice to discover others who are as well in my friend group.
