Today in cyclingnews.com's live coverage of the 3rd stage of the Giro d'Italia, Jeff Jones wrote:

15:31 CEST There is plenty of interest in the Italian media about the relative talents of Damiano Cunego and Gilberto Simoni, especially after the former's impressive winning streak of the last three weeks. Simoni hasn't won a race this year (but he could today), while Cunego already has six. And while Cunego has said he'll happily work for Simoni at the Giro, we're reminded of the 1965 Tour de France, where Vittorio Adorni took along 22 year old neo-pro Felice Gimondi to help him in the first week. Gimondi was too good, however, and ended up winning the Tour!
