Behind him is Dutchman Wout Wagtmans, winner of the 1957 Roma-Napoli-Roma. Never heard of Roma-Napoli-Roma? This event has been absent from the calendar since 1961, but you might recognize the names of a few previous winners - Gerbi, Girardengo, Binda, Belloni, Guerra, Robic, Kubler, Magni, Van Steenbergen, Ockers, Van Looy, Baldini, Bobet!
