I just finished watching a documentary on Fausto Coppi, which reminded me to dig up my neighbour’s picture of her late husband doing the Italian fan thing with Gino Bartali, I think when a #Giroditalia stage finished in Sulmona

Pure tifosi joy. #biketooter #bici #italia #bartali

Dass Mark #Cavendish die letzte Etappe des #Giro in Rom gewinnt ist schon ganz ganz großes Radfahren

What a career und was für eine Leistung bei jedem Giro eine Etappe zu gewinnen UND #Coppi und #Bartali abzuhängen

Chapeau
