I am asking about the front part of front fender of Geminiani's bike. In those days if it began raining , did the racers put the fenders on the way ? Did Geminiani expect rain and leave the front part?
    I once heard that they put the fenders in training and took them off on races . If so , why Geminiani left that part ? The reason of Bobet's victory was the aerodynamic advantage??
