    On August 8, 1960, the young Bilbao cyclists Luis and Ángel Serrano and the Vitorian José Luis Sáenz de Olazagoitia, arrived with their bicycles in Rome.

    After a long journey from Vitoria, they were to be received in audience by Pope John XXIII. His saddlebags were loaded with illusion.

    In that luggage they carried the request for the canonical declaration of the Virgin of Dorleta as the patron saint of cyclists. They say that the "good Pope", a fan of cycling and Bartali's tifossi, didn't take long to give them his blessing.
