Plus, there seems to be areal affinity for the limited use of a few English words in the Italian cycling (and motoring) world. I once cycled through Italy at the same time the Giro was being raced - this was about 20 years ago - and was often on the same roads as the race but a day before or after the various stages. I was struck that the fans used the word "win" quite a bit when painting their favorites' names on the road; e.g. "Win Sarroni" or "Win Moser". Also, near the end of the trip, we went on a large group ride in Pisa, organized by the Touring Club Italiano. I was even more surprised by that one, as the club is a large nation-wide organization.
