Can a King bow before another King? Of course. It happened yesterday afternoon at Hub 4.0 in Rovato (BS), around 5:30 PM, when Ernesto Colnago paid homage to the number one in world cycling, Tadej Pogacar, and the Slovenian young man did not fail to greet him with affection: a sincere embrace and a few signatures (five) for the jerseys that the Master engineer brought for the occasion to be signed by the two-time world champion and to be donated to Don Mazzi and others for charity "which is never too much...", says the Master softly in the ear of the four-time Tour winner.

Tadej smiles, Ernesto is moved. "Did you see how carefully he signed the jerseys? He sat down, signed them properly and folded each one carefully..."

A meeting between two excellences, one almost 94 years old, the other in the prime of his years. A single embrace was enough to warm the heart of the younger one: clearly Ernesto. Happy like a child.
