| Bianchi’s
successes in the sport went along with those
achieved at industrial level and the ‘celeste’ bicycles
kept winning all around the world.
The first great champion, whose name remains
forever bond to Bianchi’s history, was
Costante Girardengo.
In 1935,
with 50 years of history and experience, Bianchi
was a huge company, the absolute leader of
the Italian market, producing over 70.000 bicycles
a year.
Sales success however didn’t divert Bianchi’s attention from
competitions: in fact, sports undertakings got a new drive from Fausto
Coppi’s deeds.
