Questa immagine deriva da un fotogramma originario, scattato alle 22.14 della notte del 3 agosto 2021: sono elementi di una cancellata in Acciaio Corten, retti da pilastri di cemento; nella lastra di sinistra, alta circa due metri, con uno spessore di circa un centimetro, vi è intagliata la famosissima fotografia del passaggio di borraccia tra Coppi e Bartali, scattata da Carlo Martini nel Tour de France del 1952: la luce di un lampione, attraversando da dietro il disegno di Coppi e Bartali, propaga l'immagine sul portone adiacente e sulla pavimentazione, in un gioco di sagome lucenti e ombre. I colori li ho aggiunti successivamente. ***************************************************************** LA STORIA "Durante la tappa del Tour de France del 4 luglio 1952, tra Losanna e Alpe d'Huez, Fausto Coppi conduceva la gara in maglia gialla. Durante una impegnativa salita, il fotografo della Omega Fotocronache Carlo Martini scattò una fotografia sul passo del Galibier in cui si vedeva un passaggio di una bottiglia tra i due eterni rivali. La foto divenne rapidamente un simbolo della rivalità sportiva cavalleresca, della sfida tra galantuomini e del fair play che ha caratterizzato negli anni il rapporto tra i due campionissimi, ma la verità sullo scatto è sempre stata in discussione: non è infatti noto chi dei due stesse passando la bottiglia al rivale. Coppi non rivelò mai la verità, alludendo però al fatto di essere stato lui il benefattore, e Bartali, anche dopo la morte del rivale, non diede mai una risposta univoca: affermò a volte di essere stato lui a dare la borraccia, ma spesso in modo ironico e lasciando intendere di non voler rivelare la verità. Tarcisio Vergani, massaggiatore di Bartali, sostenne che la borraccia era di Bartali, che nella foto ha ancora diversi contenitori nei vari portaborracce. È infatti ancora oggi uso comune gettare a terra le borracce vuote per poter prendere quelle date ai punti di rifornimento, e gli spazi sulla bicicletta di Coppi nella foto appaiono vuoti, l'unica borraccia residua è nella mano del ciclista. La foto valse a Martini il Premio Fotocronista Sportivo dell'anno, attribuitogli postumo nel 1988 (Martini era scomparso nel 1968). Secondo Vito Liverani, fotografo sportivo e poi proprietario dell'agenzia Omega Fotocronache, la fotografia fu creata da Martini d'accordo con i due corridori e con la direzione della corsa. Coppi e Bartali in realtà non si passarono una borraccia, ma una bottiglia d'acqua, probabilmente Perrier. Liverani ebbe a dichiarare: *****«Lo sapete che quella foto, in realtà, venne per così dire "costruita" a tavolino?***** [...] La scena, quella scena, era già accaduta durante la tappa precedente. Solo che nessuno l'aveva ripresa. All'epoca non era come oggi, non c'erano mille telecamere, riprese, fotografie, moviole varie. Così, quel fotogramma in realtà era sfuggito a tutti. Così, un cineoperatore, Chiaradia si chiamava, propose a Bartali e Coppi di rifarla il giorno dopo. Gino e Fausto furono d'accordo e il giorno dopo ripeterono il passaggio di quella che è stata sempre considerata una borraccia, ma che in realtà è una bottiglia... E comunque, fu Bartali a passare la bottiglia a Coppi e non viceversa»". [da: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivalit%C3%A0_Bartali-Coppi ]

A photo that has made the history of great cycling. 70 years later, we have witnessed another episode that will go down in history. I'm talking about Pogacar and Vingegaard, two great Champions, but above all 2 real men, other than Armstong and singing company.

Dear Mario, Annamaria, Andros51, Oleg Tsapko, I thank you all for your steps and for the words of appreciation that I always love very much, hello everyone, dear greetings, giancarlo

@Andros51: yes, this year the stages of the Tour were exciting and spectacular: Pogacar and Vingegaard, 23 and 25 years old, have proved to be really great champions, with teams with very strong riders, es Wout Van Aert is just as impressive; maybe I wouldn't be so harsh on the events from 1999 to 2005: things are always deeper and more complex than we learn them from the media.
