Thank you for writing such a wonderful piece.

I have seen Charly several times riding along the streets of Giro d'Italia. I recall watching on TV his solo finish on the Abetone, his escape with Anquetil and Rick van Looy to seize Roma, and when he patiently surrendered the Maglia Rosa to Anquetil in the TT from Torino to Susa only to shred Jacques into pieces on the following day in Valle d'Aosta. A true Champion we shall miss.

Requiescat in pace.
