    Lorenzo Fabiano – Matteo Fontana IL DUELLO Absolutely Free Editore, 2017, euro 15,00 US Vicarello 1919 www.usv1919.it giugno 2021 L’episodio al centro di questo libro è ormai entrato nella leggenda del ciclismo: 10 giugno 1984, ultima tappa del Giro, cronometro da Soave a Verona. Laurent Fignon, maglia rosa, deve difendersi dall’ultimo attacco di Francesco Moser, secondo in classifica. Moser trionferà nella cronometro e vincerà il Giro d’Italia dopo tanti tentativi falliti. Ma il lavoro di Lorenzo Fabiano e Matteo Fontana, racconta molto di più che non la storia di quell’ormai mitico Giro: ricostruisce la storia ciclistica di Moser e Fignon ma ci fa rivivere anche il ciclismo degli anni ‘80 con le sue vicende e i suoi tanti protagonisti. FRANCESCO MOSER … Come si legge su Wikipedia: “Professionista dal 1973 al 1988, è stato soprannominato Lo Sceriffo per la capacità di gestire il gruppo durante la corsa; in carriera ha vinto un Giro d'Italia e diverse classiche, tra cui tre Parigi-Roubaix, due Giri di Lombardia, una Freccia Vallone, una Gand-Wevelgem e US Vicarello 1919 www.usv1919.it giugno 2021 una Milano-Sanremo, oltre ad un campionato del mondo su strada ed uno su pista nell'inseguimento individuale. Con 273 vittorie su strada da professionista risulta a tutt'oggi il ciclista italiano con il maggior numero di successi, precedendo Giuseppe Saronni (193) e Mario Cipollini (189); è inoltre terzo assoluto a livello mondiale alle spalle di Eddy Merckx (426) e Rik Van Looy (379) e davanti a Rik Van Steenbergen (270) e Roger De Vlaeminck (255).” Fabiano e Fontana ricordano questa enorme carriera ma concentrano la loro attenzione soprattutto sugli avvenimenti del 1983.
