You don't HAVE to be Jewish...

You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy reading about Gino Bartali's smashing, come-from-behind Tour de France victory at Dave Moulton's blog site.

If you are Jewish, please be sure to read the entire post. We've always thought of Bartali, who died in 2000, as Fausto Coppi's rival, the devout Catholic foil to Coppi's secularism. But there was more to Gino than we knew.

Thanks once again to Dave Moulton for his consistently fine work! This post is called "Gino Bartali - A Cyclist who Saved a Nation"
