El chico que soñaba con ser Gianni Bugno
Ortiz López, Guillermo
We know Guillermo Ortiz for his excellent articles and books, but where does his love for cycling come from? And what is the reason for his particular fascination with Gianni Bugno? "I dreamed of being Gianni Bugno as much as even Forges made fun of him in his vignettes in El País. Gianni on cyclamen at the 1994 Giro while Telecinco tried to sell us compressors; Gianni double world champion; Gianni in the epic of the tifosi, who wrote to him on the slopes of the Mortirolo 'Facci sognare, Gianni, facci sognare', just before he stayed in the rear group, perhaps thinking about his divorces, his complexes. tormented man. The adolescent turned into an adult. "Straddling a self-fiction novel and a sentimental chronicle of his adolescence and youth cycling, the author combines with emotion and mastery the adventures of a young man from the Madrid neighborhood of Prosperidad with the intimate stories of the great races (the Vueltas almost won by Millar, the Giro de Berzin, Mende's stage in the Tour of '95 ...). Hovering in these pages are the family tablecloths of July, the first loves, the first disappointments, the vital and cultural discoveries, but also the exploits of Induráin, Delgado, Pantani, Chiapucci or LeMond, the unfulfilled promises of Bugno and Olano, or the unforgettable adventures of runners such as Moser, Argentin, Zülle, Jaskula, Mauri, Fondriest, Rooks, Bruyneel or Cubino.
