Mazzieri thanked the local organisers: "I'm thankful to the Caronno and Legnano municipalities The local clubs already impressed me with their dedication I'm grateful to all the volunteers involved in the event." Legnano and Caronno are neighbours and sports rivals and will put the rivalry on hold for the event which will take place from 27 June to 5 July.

Melany Sheldon, a Caronno star in the Italian Serie A, was Italy's shortstop at the WBSC Women's Softball World Cup Finals 2024 and Group C play one year earlier in Castions di Strada "Representing your country is always special Doing it on home soil and sharing it with your fans is an unforgettable experience Taking a U-15 World Cup to Caronno and Legnano will give many girls a chance to understand that representing Italy can become the goal of a softball career."

The bike was reportedly purchased by a fan after the 1947 Giro - in which Bartali was second to Fausto Coppi and won a stage - and then left boxed up for 60 years The seller says the bike is in original condition and was only used "a few" times "This bike was found with the original pump holder and his original Silca pump," the seller writes. "The Silca pump is one of the first model as we can see in the Gino Bartali picture where Gino is with his wife and his two little sons Luigi and Andrea. No one disassembled the bike or a part of that. There are also original Brooks toe straps, Brooks saddle, Gara stem, Campagnolo hubs, Universal brakes and FOM pedals." The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox! The bike also has Bartali's trademark two left axle caps. The two left caps allowed Bartali to screw them by himself, a precautionary measure he preferred after serious problems with an axle cap cost him the 1940 Giro to young upstart Fausto Coppi. Aside from the fame and notoriety Bartali achieved on the bike and in his epic battles with rival Coppi, the Italian played a lesser-known role in helping Italian Jews during World War II, a story that has only recently come to light and earned Bartali the honour of Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust memorial. Relying on his fame as one of Italy's most renowned cycling champions, Bartali was given the freedom to train and move about unrestricted, and so he was able to transport forged travel documents between towns. This bike was built and used long after those terrifying days, but it is an echo from an era that saw many rise to face the evil of the day. The gold paint is chipped and faded in many spots, and the bike sports a single chainring on the front. It's got pink 'Giro' bar tape, with the brake levers sporting strips of tape as well, as Bartali preferred. It is simply a one-of-a-kind piece of cycling lore, and, in theory at least, it could be yours.

presents a sequence of spaces that gives users an overall view of the inside despite its being functionally fragmented Defining the building are its compact form; the divisions formed by connection

Italian's spare bike – just like the one used to win the 1988 World Championships But if you followed professional cycling in the late 1980s more likely with the lack of worldwide TV coverage then read about – Fondriest's win in the road race at the 1988 World Championships when crashes and disqualifications in the group of three riders he came to the finish with made for a very different podium to the one you might reasonably have expected going into the last few hundred metres of the race Canada's Steve Bauer was deemed to have closed the door on Belgium's Claude Criquielion as the two sprinted for the line with Criquielion hitting the deck and Bauer getting tangled up in the crash It left 23-year-old Fondriest to come across the line as the new world champion while second-placed Bauer was disqualified and Criquielion was passed by the chasing group which meant that France's Martial Gayant took silver and Spain's Juan Fernández bronze Fondriest in fact only rode professionally on Legnano frames for one season Although the bike for sale here is the same bike design and colour as the one ridden that year by Fondriest the seller says that this was his spare bike and therefore perhaps didn't see so much action – which you could also argue only serves to have preserved it somewhat and the custom-built Columbus SLX steel frame is furnished with a Campagnolo C-Record groupset and wheels comes from the town just outside Milan where the bikes were produced The company started out as manufacturers of motorbikes but sponsored a cycling team from 1906 when it began to make bikes and illustrious names to have passed through the team's ranks include Italian cycling legends Alfredo Binda but remains a much-sought-after marque by collectors Included in the seller's listing is the Bettini Photo picture of Fondriest in his world champ's rainbow jersey which would have been at one of the late-season Italian races he rode in 1988 – possibly Il Lombardia or the Giro dell'Emilia Fondriest then moved on to the Del Tongo team and went on to ride for Panasonic and Lampre before starting his own bike company and riding on his own bikes for the last few years of his career at Roslotto and Cofidis Germany-based seller are sure of the Legnano model but what you are getting here is the genuine article with Fondriest's name etched – not overly expertly the
