Yellow Jersey Press Fallen angel - the passion of Fausto Coppi


Coppi book provides excellent insight.

Apart from my very own first book (which incidentally you can still purchase here) , I have to say Will Fotheringham's portayal of Fausto Coppi is the best book I have read this year.

Without going all arty on you, it is a proper insight into Italian life at the end of the war and the struggle of the country to get back on its feet.

Fallen angel - the passion of Fausto Coppi

Price: 
£16.99

Rather than just concentrate on the palmares of Italy's greatest cycling hero, greatest sporting hero even, William Fotheringham's new book, Fallen Angel tackles Fausto Coppi's whole life, a life seemingly dogged by tragedy and conflict, from being born into a poor farming family to his premature death from malaria 40 years later to give a broad understanding of the man, the legend, and the myth.
