Faustian Pact.

I did exactly the wrong thing here, and agreed to let the feller from Le Sport Velo use this painting of Fausto Coppi for free. I got nowt for it. No fee. Nothing. Ordinarily I hold that the problem with exposure is that you can die from it, but I'm afraid just this one time they got me at a weak point, and I just couldn't resist the chance of getting in a French cycling magazine. In French.

Also it might be churlish to have a thing printed and complain that it's not all that well reproduced, but still - there it is. French cycling magazine. Fausto Coppi. Me.
