Fausto in 1953 on Stelvio:

Koblet-Coppi battle, Giro d’Italia 1953 - Cycling Passion

Hugo Koblet, “Pédaleur de charme“, and Fausto Coppi, “Il Campionissimo”, two post-war era giants. They were good friends, until the Giro d’Italia 1953 edition. After that Giro, they would never speak to each other again. But, what happened? Before the 1953 race, Hugo Koblet was the first and...
