Won the Giro and the Tour in the same year twice, and divided Italy in half with his rivalry with Gino Bartali. He died of untreated malaria at forty.

He was an all-round racing cyclist: he excelled in both climbing and time trialing, and was also a good sprinter. He won the Giro d'Italia five times, the Tour de France twice, and the World Championship in 1953. Other notable results include winning the Giro di Lombardia five times, the Milan-San Remo three times, as well as wins at Paris-Roubaix and La Flèche Wallonne and setting the hour record (45.798 km) in 1942.
