    Good evening digging in the Rough-Stuff Fellowship archives. Scotland, 1970, was a good trip. Crazy thing is, there are so many strong images that none of these may make the final book. For more on the project see link in bio.

    In the '49 Giro he bagged pink on the 9th stage. A wk later + with just 3 stages to go he was still in pink. And then came Cuneo-Pinerolo, a day writ in legend, Leoni's name forgotten, blurred by the majesty of Fausto Coppi, his former team-mate. (Pic is '47 Giro. Leoni on left)

    A few years later Leoni quit cycling, finding more fulfillment in the career of the woman he'd married in 1947, Maria Luisa Cioni, who was by then a prominent opera singer.

    In 1937 he had unleashed his devasting sprint to win the amateur World Championships, in Denmark. As well as a rainbow jumper he won a contract with Bianchi, where he stayed for a decade. Between 1938 & 1951 he bagged 17 Giro stages, the last few in a Legnano jersey.

    (If Hemingway were Tweeting today he'd have written something pithy like "Baby's toy. Unused." and been declared a genius by the weeping litterati.)

    I won't make them blush by naming them but there are some bonafide heroes of mine coming to the Centenary weekend. It's shaping up as really special gathering of cycling clans. Will you be there?

    Bontempi was a long-time Davide Boifava stalwart, starting with Inoxpran and running through the Carrera years before seeing out his career with a couple of seasons with Emanuele Bombini's Gewiss, starting in that magical year of 1994 when dreams really did seem to come true...

    I do so hope there's been ample time to add an explanatory chapter on the death of Argyle, and the Power of Pink, to this much anticipated book.

    So is that the end of the Argyle Armada, sacrificed to the Gods in order to demonstrate how only revenue sharing can save cycling? Well, revenue sharing + licences for life. And a better narrative to the cycling season. And fan engagement. And the return of Lampre's pink kit.

    What kind of glasses do they issue at the Speccie? Westminster's (or ) are driven by the ideology of political correctness, declares Brendan O'Neill in a virtue signalling, slur slinging, dreary little moan, soaked in irony.

    When you speak to old champions, of whatever age, the rivalry and jealousy tends to surface. Nobody - champion, gregario or otherwise - has a bad word for Franco Balmamion.

    OTD 1940, birth of Franco Balmamion, two-time winner of the Giro d'Italia with back-to-back wins in 1962 + 1963. Known as the Eagle of the Canavase, he's one of a small number of Giro winners celebrated with an English language biography.
