I don't remember seeing him racing but I do know he once pointed at Salvatore and laughed.
No no no. He waved then gave me a thumbs up, smiling as he did so.
It may come as a surprise to many, but he took a great interest in Audax Randonneurs Italia (ARI). He attended their get-together before PBP 2007, and presented the ARI awards last autumn after LEL.
The first photo in
this sequence shows him with Fermo Rigamonti, organiser of 1001 Miglia Italia.
