2012 Rapha NE Gentlemen's Race

What escaped the provocateur was that the distance and terrain, although challenging, do not make the Gentlemen's race remarkable. What makes it a unique and meaningful experience for those who are chosen to participate is the fact that it must be started and completed as a team of six. This simple rule throws traditional race tactics out the door, and can be one of the most difficult aspects.
