Willy Wauthle, history aficionado and motorcyclist in many of the biggest races in Europe
Let me say this first, I'm a history buff when it comes to cycling. I love learning about riders from the past, present, their stats, and who won what race when, where and how. Willy Wauthle from the Netherlands helps me fulfill my fascination. He is one of the most captivating individuals I've ever met.
Wauthle has one of the most comprehensive Facebook page on the history of cycling, with pictures of the greats from the past to the present. He never misses the opportunity to wish a rider a Happy Birthday or remember someone in death.
His Facebook page is only part of Wauthle's story. Here's where his life gets even cooler to me. Wauthle recently retired as a motorcyclist for European races. I know all of you have seen the motorcycles buzzing by riders during a race or you've seen still photographers or TV camera people on the back of a motorcycle bringing you all the action in races. That was his job for over 40 years.
Wauthle says he was there the day Fabio Casartelli died, he told me Guido Bontempi is a close friend, and he has a yellow jersey and bike from the GOAT, Eddy Merckx.
