Saw a similar film about Coppi on TV in Toronto back during the Hamilton
world's (also in Italian). The things we miss!

Don has a great point, you really have to stick to your guns on not needing the superdish, or better yet just tell them you do have one even if you only have a dish 500 you will get the tv station but not the radio station.

This channel is pretty entertaining. Yesterday they had a made for tv (I think) movie about Gino Bartali, the bike racer, presumably to warm everyone up for the Giro. The vintage wheel cars were pretty funny. I don't know where they dug em up. They show Bartali during the war, stuffing fake passports into his bike tubes and delivering them to, presumably, resistance sympathizers. At one point, they set up an autographing session at a railroad station so some kids can escape onto the train, while the German soldiers (it's now well into 1943) patrolling the place are occupied with crowd control.

I got my $13 worth already. I can't wait for part 2.

For those of you who are dish network subcribers and want to see the GIRO you need to get RAI TV.It costs around $13 for the month. If you call they will tell you that you need a super dish. This is not true. The best way is to subcribe on line to just the TV. You will also see lots of concerts, cooking shows, talk shows and, lots of gorgeous men and women. It is worth it . If you happen to speak spanish you will understand about 50%.

The vintage wheel cars were pretty funny. I don't know where they dug em up. They show Bartali during the war, stuffing fake passports into his bike tubes and delivering them to, presumably, resistance sympathizers. At one point, they set up an autographing session at a railroad station so some kids can escape onto the train, while the German soldiers (it's now well into 1943) patrolling the place are occupied with crowd control.
