A beautifully fitting tribute, Daniel. Thank you very much for sharing. Gianni’s character shone larger than life through the podcast over the years, it truly was the perfect medium for him.

I was honoured to spend a couple of hours with Nicoletta in Turin at last year’s Giro. Her warmth and passion for both the sport and their community was no doubt a credit to her father. My thoughts are with all those who knew Gianni, RIP.

Thank you, Daniel, for such a beautifully written and evocative tribute to Gianni. It’s characters like him, and the time to appreciate and enjoy them during the long hours following the races, that first drew me to cycling - and have kept me entranced ever since.

Poignant and moving, I’ll miss the evocations to the formation and “la bomba” from the Giro. Thank you Daniel for taking the time and effort to introduce us to one of the true characters of Italian cycling. Ciao Gianni 🙏

Fitting tribute, thank you Daniel. A giro without Gianni’s formations isn’t the same.

My life has been all the richer for little flashes of Gianni inserted during your Giro coverage, and to echo Edward one of my highlights was always Gianni’s formations and the “bomba”. A lovely tribute Daniel

Wonderful tribute, Daniel. Thank you. Podcasting is a very intimate medium as I listen as I go about my day. Gianni became a fixture of those days during the Giro. I mourn his loss and your words helped.
