		As in 1924 Ottavio Bottecchia emerged winner of the Tour, though the crushing domination was not there.
		By now, Bottecchia was 31 (he had come to cycling late after serving as a soldier in the Great War and then earning a living as a bricklayer - hence the nickname, "Le maçon de Frioul" - the Friuli bricklayer) and the pedals didn't turn with their former speed.
		The most likely explanation is that he was murdered, probably by Fascists - Bottecchia did not hide his socialist leanings in Mussolini's Italy - though even this theory cannot be proved, for even if Bottecchia did not agree all the time with Mussolini, he was certainly a role model for the "New Italy".
