Ercole Baldini won the Giro d’Italia in 1958, taking three stage victories and wearing the Maglia Rosa for seven days. In the same year as winning the Corsa Rosa, the ‘Forlì Train’, as Baldini was nicknamed, also became UCI Road World Champion in Reims, France, on 31 August.Born 26 January 1933 in Villanova di Forlì (Emilia-Romagna), Baldini was twice Italian national road champion. Before turning pro, he demonstrated his versatility by winning the Olympic gold medal in the road race, on 7 December 1956 in Melbourne, Australia – that’s after taking the title in the Individual Pursuit at the Track World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, and setting the Hour Record at the Vigorelli Velodrome in Milan with a distance of 46,393m.
