Jocelyn Lovell was a seriously good trackman sprinter. Very seriously good. World-class seriously good.

When Marinoni went for (and eventually set) his age-bracket (75+, I believe) Hour Record a few years ago, he did it on a frame he had built for Jocelyn Lovell 30+ years earlier. of his second, succesful effort. (He fell a little short on his first try.) It starts with a great drive-side shot of the bike in the starting block.

Also, for the film "Marinoni: The Fire in the Flame" that was screened at one of the early Eroica events. I saw it there and bought the DVD - it's worth tracking down, if you can, and watching. Marinoni is, shall we say, quirky (a framebuilder with a quirky personality? Who'da thunk it?) but kind of endearing in his way. The film includes some footage of Marinoni and Lovell reconnecting after having not seen each other for a number of years. It also includes footage of him training for and riding his first (unsuccessful) hour record attempt, Marinoni gathering mushrooms, brazing a frame, and a visit with him to his old stomping grounds in Italy. As I said, it's worth watching.
