It was July 6, 1952, at the Tour de France, and we were climbing towards the Galibier. Fausto was in the yellow jersey. Gino had the green shirt. They were rivals, two opposite halves of the world, but …
Seventy years later we are still there, on one side or the other of that bottle, never really convinced that that day a good photographer simply managed to capture the truth: that is, one helping the other, the two rivals who they share the relief of a drink to get rid of a bit of effort. Not at all: after seventy years, every time we come across that shot and stop to think, we always manage to see something new.
