Yesterday I found this beautiful Moser – Va por la hora in very sad and desolate conditions. The frame(57×57) is one of the ten prototypes prepared for FRANCESCO MOSER for the record dell’ora in Mexico City 30 years ago. Now she needs a new owner. If interested please feel free to contact me.

There is no better sensation when you are on the top of the Passo Giau than stopping pedaling for these 20 meters, take a deep deep breath, squeeze a CLIF SHOT, put on your mantellina and…giù a tutta! The collection of four vintage cycling rain jackets including Jolly Ceramica, Molteni, Renault and Brooklyn will be soon available as single mantellina or as set with the musette and cappellino at our online store.

This is only one of my road maps, but the most preferred, I use for my trainings here in Nice. 130km in a wonderful landscape with wonderful panorama, two GPM, Col de Vence(1st Cat.) et Col de Gourdon(2nd Cat.) and when you approach Grasse, a ecstasy of colors and perfumes. I love to ride here especially in winter or early spring when the nord is covered in snow and cold. Zero traffic, good roads, very few cars and enough fountains to fill the bottle in summer.
So if you plan a winter training for the next saison, or if you are a tour operator, a travel agency or simply you run a cycling-oriented hotel and are interested in organizing fantastic cycling tours around Nice, please feel free to contact me.

“Leone” (the Lion) was the nickname NIGEL MANSELL received during the two years racing in FERRARI. He was really admired by many tifosi beacause of his fearless driving style. Few, very few friends, NIGEL MANSELL was a very agressive and unpleasant driver, but a very fast one: World Champion in 1992, 31 wins, 59 podiums, 32 pole positions, 56 first grid, 30 fastest laps. Today he is the owner of the Continental cycling team UK YOUTH.
60 years sempre a tutta.
«Le soir même, un peu effondrés avec Guimard, nous avons alors imaginé notre va-tout. Le profil de l’étape qui partait le lendemain, entre Val Gardena et Arabba, offrait éventuellement une possibilité. Quelques cols se profilaient, Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella, Gardena et retour par le Campolongo. J’etais impatient de tout miser sur une seule attaque. Et le lendemain, exactement à l’endroit prévu, à 55 kilomètres du but, je suis parti seul dans le froid et la brume, que je détestais tant…»
