He followed his first Tour in 1949, when Fausto Coppi overcame another Italian, Gino Bartali, after a Frenchman in a regional team, Jacques Marinelli, had profited from the battle between them to wear the yellow jersey of leadership.
On the fourth he came second and became race leader, leading a field that included Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali.
