Subject: [CR]Giordana Cottur Photographs + Coppi & Vietto

(Sorry if this comes as a duplicate post. My first attempt had a partial reject.)

For those interested in the late Giordana Cottur, I have assembled a quick, down and dirty web page with a mix of original photographs I have of him. Bicisport magazine in Italy will be using a couple of these in their next issue when they present a tribute article. So, the CR List gets to spy them weeks before the Italian tifosi! BTW, the image with Fausto Coppi shows Cottur in the maglia rosa. I particularly like the 1947 shot with Vietto. Not so much for Vietto but for the table full of metal water bottles.

Unfortunately, the photos were stored in a crate that was water damaged long before I ever owned the images. Fortunately, I still have about 25 original photographs of him that have survived. Enjoy!
