Angel asked me to translate the following from today's Gazetta dello Sport,
"Cosi, prima sulla sua bici Wilier Triestina (la Wilier, vicentina, aggiunto quel Triestina in suo onere), poi fra le sue bici Cottur (le prima fabbricate dal padre Giovanni, le attuali dal figlio Giovanni, la vita e un ciclo)."
Thus, first on his Wilier Triestina bike (Wilier, from the province of Vicenza, added the Triestina part in his honor), then amongst his Cottur bikes (the first ones built by his father Giovanni, the present ones by his son Giovanni, life is a cycle).
In fact, the Cottur family has long owned a bike shop. I have arranged for the Cottur family to be informed about Brett's wonderful homage and promise to share any reaction that they might have.
