In capturing the 1962 Giro 22-year-old Franco Balmamion displayed extraordinary courage, but his story remains ignored by the cycling world. In his quest to recover Balmamion's memory Herbie Sykes rediscovers the romantic, parochial community of Italian cycling in the 60s. This is a book about courage, deceit, joy and the sadness of lost careers.
