Andrea Carrea was a domestique for Fausto Coppi.

Carrea apologized to his team leader Coppi, in fear that his team leader would be angry because a helper occupied the highest rank, but Coppi was not angry.

The margin was so large that Coppi didn't need to attack in the twelfth stage.

Coppi did so, won the stage, and decided the race.

It was bad enough for him with Coppi winning last year.

Bartali, conservative, was venerated in the rural, agrarian south, while Coppi, more worldly, secular, innovative in diet and training, was hero of the industrial north.

In contrast, Coppi grew up in Piedmont in the north and was not religious at all.

Simoni was characteristically frank about his last bid for glory, which poignantly saw him beaten in the sprint for the Cima Coppi KOM prize by the Swiss Johann Tschopp, at the summit of the Passo di Gavia in the penultimate Giro stage.

This was despite a frantic chase by such greats as triple Tour winner Louison Bobet, double winner Gino Bartali and Fausto Coppi.

Coppi was hindered by grief at the death of his brother, Serse.

The race was won by Italian Fausto Coppi.

Coppi dominated the race, winning five stages and the mountains classification, and was a member of the winning Italian team.

In the tenth stage, Robic attacked, and only Coppi was able to follow him.

When Coppi had a flat tire, his team mate Gino Bartali gave him his own wheel, which was a sign that the rivalry between the two cyclists was over.

Even though Coppi rode conservatively in the that stage, the cyclist directly behind him in the general classification, Alex Close, lost another four minutes, and Coppi was now 24 minutes ahead.

During the selection procedure, Coppi almost refused to start the race, but he was convinced to start.

The race was won by Coppi, with second place taken by teammate Bartali, the winner of the previous year.

Coppi started to slow down, complaining he was hungry and exhausted.

Later that night, it became clear that Coppi had been angry because the team leader had not been following him, even though he was in the leading group.

Coppi did not want to race in a team where Bartali and not he was the leader.

It was Bartali's 35th birthday, and Coppi gave Bartali the stage victory.

On the final climb to Briançon, Coppi allowed Bartali to win ( on his 35th birthday ) and take the yellow jersey.

Coppi waited for Bartali, but when Bartali later fell and twisted his ankle, team leader Binda allowed Coppi to take off alone.

Some researchers, including Anthony Atala of Wake Forest University, a team from Harvard University, and Italian Paolo de Coppi, have found that amniotic fluid is also a plentiful source of non-embryonic stem cells.

Bartali's rivalry with Fausto Coppi divided Italy.

The lives of each came together on 7 January 1940 when Eberrardo Pavesi, head of the Legano team, took on Coppi to ride for Bartali.

Bartali thought Coppi " as thin as a mutton bone " but accepted.

Their rivalry started when Coppi, the helping hand, won the Giro and Bartali, the star, marshalled the two men's team to chase him.

When professional cycle racing resumed in 1946 after World War II, Bartali narrowly beat Coppi in that year's Giro, while Coppi won Milan – San Remo.
