Thanks for the link, I've just finished William Fotheringhams Coppi biography. Like you say, nothing new in the article, but some great pictures...

The book is fantastic really got me looking at the era and Coppi in particular. For me the greatest ever to have picked up a bike.

I fully agree. I enjoyed the Tom Simpson bio by the same writer and I admire all pro cyclists but Coppis story is inspirational. Talk about success against the odds. And the natural talent was phenomenal... :shock: The complicated family life is a shame but he was messed up and it doesn't detract from his achievements as a racer. He's lucky he isn't alive today with the paparazzi and obsession with scandal...
