A cycling champion who lived to the end pedaling and training on his bike: drama in Italian cycling: Michele Scarponi died in a road accident while preparing for his next Giro d Italy as captain. The president of Federciclismo, Renato Di Rocco, confirmed it to Ansa in tears.
Champion and follower: Scarponi was this. And at the age of 37, a Giro d'Italia on the bulletin board, he was preparing for a new adventure in the pink race, this time as captain of Astana. Filottrano's eagle, so nicknamed for its climbing skills, closed its wings forever on any spring day.
