About
"Once a skinny and weak child, Gino Bartali rose to become a Tour de France champion and one of cycling's greatest stars.

Bartali might have appeared a mere bystander to the harassment and hatred directed toward Italy's Jewish people, but secretly he accepted a role in a dangerous plan to help them.
