Sidi Kaos

I wanted to test these shoes in the Monza F1 circuit but, unfortunately, it was closed.
Nevertheless, I tested them quite well because I battled with a friend in a strong series of sprints.
The shoe perfectly fits the foot, the ratchet fastens the shoe and the rotor allows a super precise regulation.
Adjusting the rotor, you can make the shoe and your foot a single whole, obtaining a perfect sensitivity on the pedal.
During the traction, the shoe remains hard and block your foot, providing the best power on the pedals.
The pushing phase is good as well, due to the stiffness of the sole.
In conclusion, I can say that Sidi Kaos is a good shoe, suggested for people who want to have quite good performances without sacrificing their feet.
They are not the best Sidi shoes on the market but they are still a very good choice for an amateur.

Cycling Songs: Ciao Mama - Quartetto Cetra

Italian song about a rider in the '50s.

Here is the translation:

Ciao mom,

I’m going, winning, and coming back;

you can already put the lamb in the oven.

I’ve put on the woollen undershirt you gave me, (ciao ciao)

ciao mom, (ciao ciao) ciao mom, (ciao ciao)

the team manager is calling me, (ciao ciao)

ciao mom, I’ll win, you’ll see.

 

ciao mom,

the doctor says

that if I take on this climb

my appendix will get inflamed,

but at the top of the climb there’s fame, (ciao ciao)

ciao mom, (ciao ciao) ciao mom, (ciao ciao)

someone is calling me from the car, (ciao ciao)

ciao mom, I’ll win, you’ll see.

 

I say goodbye to the supporters from the sports bar,

to Ninetta, to my friends, to boys and babies,

but, over anyone else,

a kiss and a greeting will fly to you.

 

(ciao ciao)

 

(ciao ciao)

 

ciao mom,

did you see what a final sprint?,

I’m coming back home in a short while:

prepare an omelette.

We’ll have a bit of glory and a bit of dough, (ciao ciao)

it’s so good, (ciao ciao) ciao mom, (ciao ciao)

for now, I just feel very hungry, (ciao ciao)

ciao mom, dish out Maccheroni
