Thanks for sharing this, gives a very nice new perspective from a fellow rider and competitor. I’ve always admired Coppi’s riding effectiveness, sitting so low and all power going to the pedals. Upper body is comfortably low and relaxed and it all looks so natural and smooth. Like they said “riding on air”
It would be interesting to know what happened when Raphael Geminiani took Fausto on holiday to Burkino Fasso in Africa ? I understood he died on return from that trip; all too soon . it seems to be the way with legends they are taken from us well before their time . i understood this holiday was taken at the end of his career when in his early 40s not long after his graceful appearance at the Herne Hill velodrome, London.
I had a 23.5 inch (60 cm) Raphael Geminiani bicycle I stripped down and rebuilt back in Belfast in 1970. Sadly, Ileft it behind in abicycle repair shop in Warrenpoint, Co Down, in 1972.
No hay color, mucha más calidad Coppi, mayor palmares Merckx,el italiano tuvo enormes rivales, el belga corrió solo, sin la 2 guerra mundial, Coppi hubiera tan grande palmares como el belga.Creo.que hay que ser muy objetivos,Merckx el mejor de la historia, claro,el palmares, eso a mi y a muchos no nos cuadra
This interview is must to watch for all fans of cycling. Very touching 🚴♂️🚴♀️.
Il Campionissimo, l'Airone..un uomo solo al comando..la più splendente leggenda del ciclismo nonché il più grande di tutti i tempi
Coppi was denk ik de eerste "moderne" wielrenner. Hij hield zich bezig met voeding, rust en massage. Een groot kampioen.
Coppi vs Merckx ?? 🙂 For those who know cycling it's ko verdict : Coppi is the pure true emblem of bycicle rider, the greatest of cycling history.
