Smoking might be good for you

Tom,

Thank you for bringing a smile to my face. The great Gino Bartali smoked too and won two tours 10 years apart. On some level they must have known it wasn't beneficial to their riding? Or maybe not.

Made me smile, too.  BTW, it reminds me that the book Road to Valor is a nice biography of Bartali.  Not sure if all allegations are true, but if so, he really was a hero in more than just racing.  Pretty sure this book was talke about on this list when it came out.
