I saw this bit of news today. A film about Bartali is in the works.

Wow! Definitely one of my cycling heroes, thought they might plumped for Coppi though as his story is probably more cinematic

Hopefully it gets further down the road than Shane Meadows's Tom Simpson film.

There was also rumour that Maxine Peake's (excellent) Beryl Burton play had been made into a screenplay and was doing the rounds.

That was some time ago, around 2010? Beryl Burton would be a great filmed story.

Hopefully to be better than the (a little bit amusing ) theatre musical I've seen few month ago

Well, if nothing else I’ve learned quite a bit about Bartali that I didn’t know before.

Miles Teller would certainly look the part, and he’s a serious actor. I think he’s also a bit of a method actor, which is lucky seeing as the only way to get a physique that looks like you’ve done a sh*tload of cycling is by actually doing a sh*tload of cycling…at least, as far as I’m aware
