Gimondi had his appointments cancelled and had thought to call me to tell me he could see me the day after.

Gimondi had risen from the flames of Merckx's domination to grab the rainbow jersey and prove once and for all that he was one of the greats.
Gimondi was part of the tactical transition in racing, never overreacting, remaining calm and intelligently assessing the situation before acting.
Today, Felice Gimondi remains, as Noel Henderson wrote in his book Cycling Classics, 1970-72, "the perfect cyclist for any young hopeful to model himself upon: generous, loyal, hardworking and never querulous." Gimondi is one of the great champions, who rose to meet the toughest challenges and take professional cycling to new heights of class.

Gimondi riusciva molto spesso a battere tutti questi secondi, ma c'era comunque sempre Merckx davanti.
Gimondi non ha la brutale potenza di Merckx, è lui il freddo che preferisce rimanere nel gruppone a pianificare la mossa successiva, mentre è il belga - più emotivo e irruente - che si agita e preme per la prima fuga possibile.
Gimondi si ritira da vincitore nel 1978, ancora sano, integro e competitivo all'età di 37 anni, due anni dopo aver vinto il suo terzo Giro d'Italia.

Gimondi was the only one with the strength to hold his wheel, following Aimar to the Parc des Princes and then whipping around him with a powerful thrust and sprint to build an incredible 42 second lead and win the Tour de lâAvenir in front of 40,000 frantic racing fans.
Gimondi had come from nowhere, with an amateur career that was little more remarkable than that of any of the thousands of Italians that raced alongside him, and won what was, next to the Amateur World Championships, the pinnacle of amateur racing.
Gimondi was Anquetilâs successor to the cycling throne, and Coppiâs heir as campionissimo.
