Coppi video - an hour and 45 minutes of fun
I just stumbled across
. It's all about Fausto Coppi. It's an Italian production but has overdubbing by Phil Liggett. My best guess is it dates from the 1980s. It has a lot of fun footage of Coppi and other greats of his time - too many to name. It also includes the usual "talking head" interviews, but they include, among others, Gino Bartali, Raphael Geminiani, Ferdi Kubler and Fiorenzo Magni. There is even a brief shot of Coppi shifting a Cambio Corsa just after the 49 minute mark - it is very brief and you have to know what you're looking for, but it's there.
If you are at all interested in classic race footage, I think you will enjoy this.
