Thank you. My life has spanned almost all of those bikes, and it’s good to see them curated and accessible in such a delightful venue.

Spectacular!

A lovely film - thanks very much for posting it 😊

What a beautiful and unexpected video

What a brilliant little documentary.

This was an unexpected pleasure. This film will be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

I wonder if Eddy Merckx had comments on Fausto Coppi

I wonder why the rear ends on his track bike are road ends and not track ends ?🤔

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Fausto Coppi "il Campionissimo" the greatest of all times

Saddle too forward and downward.

Thanks for this wonderful film that filled my heart of memories. Hopefully it will make newcomers & americans get some knowledge about legend era of cycling and Fausto Coppi, the greatest ever in the history of this sport .

After watching a Sigma sport cafe ride video where this event was mentioned this popped up on my feed and i'm so glad the youtube algorithym got it right !👍

Beekay Robins As the wife and Daughter of Keith Robins, I Brenda Robins with my Daughter Nichola Robins, would like to thank you for preserving the history of this iconic event. It was a great pleasure in seeing my late Husband who passed away in 2020, in several shots and being mentioned for his part in bring Coppi to the UK. It was a pleasure to see and remember so many friends from that day. It brought back memories of the telephone call on our newly installed telephone which woke us up at 2am in the morning, Keith got up to answer it. Upon returning to bed I asked him "who on earth was that" he replied "Fausto Coppi" and I said, "pull the other one" he proceeded to tell me the conversation...." Hello this is Fausto Coppi, where am I staying?" he was speaking from the airport. Keith advised him to talk to Italo who advised him go straight to the Dorchester, where they were reluctant to let him as he only had overnight bag, and bike. Thank you again. Philip Ashbourn What a wonderful film. It brought mixed memories to me - happy ones for 1958 was my first racing season and regretful ones. Like most racing cyclists of my generation we looked mainly to the continent for our heroes. Coppi was top of the list. By 1958 he was a shadow of himself but when I heard that he was coming to race on the Herne Hill track I did not hesitate and bought two tickets, one for myself and another for an Oundle Wheelers clubmate. I had a Lambretta scooter (see ads at the track), which I bought to carry myself and the bike to races far and wide, and it was planned that the two of us would go on it to Herne Hill after my clubmate had ridden a 25 on the N4 at Thrapston. Alas, after the ride he cried off and I too, to my everlasting regret, did the same. John Pound Lovely memento of the event!! Herbie Sykes Lovely. Martin Casson Fantastic. 2bsure Absolutely beautiful history of cycling. Looked like an incredible day. I have many memories of some greats at Herne Hill Velodrome. Martyn Bolt Great film Cath, I've heard many tales from Brian about trips with Coppi , including opening a track in Ireland with Shay Philip Ashbourn What a wonderful film.
