Giro d'Italia, 1956. Fiorenzo Magni, riding with a broken collarbone after a crash on stage 12, tied a piece of inner tube to his bars and gripped it between his teeth to help steady the bike.

He wasn’t steady enough to avoid another crash on stage 16, in which he landed on the broken collarbone and also broke his arm.

Nonetheless, Magni completed the remaining six stages and finished second overall.

I'm curious about TMS's opinion on this dude...is this a masters riders idol or what?

Love the content, rock on!

I hope Tafi doesn’t go the way of Alexi Grewal. Just be the legend we remember. Don’t ruin it.
