Pall-bearers carry the coffin of legendary cycling ace Gino Bartali May 8, 2000, during the funeral services in Florence. Bartali. Bartali, who died on May 5 at the aged of 85 enjoyed one of the great cycling rivalries of all time with compatriot Fausto Coppi, achieved something that no other cyclist managed in winning two Tour de France 10 years apart in 1938 and 1948.
