Gianni Mura, a 68-year-old Italian journalist, poses with his typewriter after an interview with Reuters during the 124.5km seventeenth stage of the Tour de France cycle race between Saint-Gaudens and Saint-Lary Pla d'Adet. Mura, who covered his first Tour de France in 1967 for La Gazzetta dello Sport, is the iconic figure in the race press room. The Italian, who now works for La Repubblicca, has seen Raymond Poulidor in his bath and drunk beers with Felice Gimondi. Almost 50 years after following his first Tour, Mura has not changed a bit. He still dictates his stories to the newspaper after having typed them, usually just outside the press room, fag hanging from his lower lip. | share this photo |
