Where else but in Italy could a book be published about a single stage? The Cuneo - Pinerolo stage has been raced only 3 times: 60 years ago in 1949 and made famous by Coppi's 192 Km escape; 1964, won by Bitossi; and 1982, won by Saronni.
The route was going to be replicated this year but circumstances dictated that the route remain within Italy rather than going into France (see today's earlier blog entry or http://italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.com/2009/05/stage-10-cuneo-pinerolo-262km.html)
Book characteristics:
Pages: 160
Fotos: 200+
Format: 27,5x24 cm.
Price: Euro 25,00
