Olympic games are not always an athletic festival.
In 1972 during the Olympische Sommerspiele 1972, eight Palestinian criminals, members of the terrorist group Black September, took eleven hostages, all members of the Israeli Olympic Team and killed them. One hostage was castrated and abused after he was shot!
Take a moment and remember!

Un Campionato del Mondo (1977), un Giro d’Italia (1984), una Milano-Sanremo (1984), due Lombardia (1975-1978), tre Paris-Roubaix di fila (1978-1979-1980), cinque Trofeo Baracchi, etc. etc. etc.
Tanti auguri Sceriffo.
It’s always a great pleasure and a great honour to be source of inspiration for famous designers and prestigious brands.
The GIRO D’ITALIA is one of the three most important stage races on the world cycling calendar. This year, the 104th edition will start on 8 May and finish on 30 May in Milano.
We are really honoured to have been a source of inspiration for the new kit of procycling team EF Education.
The original kaleidoscopic design was created by Max at TYPEKLANG for the Zürich Bike Festival in 2018 and was dedicated to the two new collections ÉQUIPE and MONDIALE presented in anteprima at the show.
It is still used for all the posters, flyers, stickers and visit cards of SUPERLEGGERO.
A year has passed since the Coronavirus exploded in Europe.
Following those first days of fear and disbelief, it occurred to us that if we wished settle back to work we would have to protect ourselves and those close to us.
While scientists were striving to find drugs to fight the virus, we were looking for a way to manage it in everyday life in the short term.
Natural curiosity led us to look at the 1920s pandemic, and to discover how the masks of that time were worn with such elegance and simplicity!
After 43 years of support at the Tour de France(the French wheel-builder has provided support for all Tour riders since 1977)this will be the first year without the iconic yellow neutral service cars on the roads of the Tour de France and other major races organized by ASO like Paris-Roubaix and Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
Yellow was a color, yellow was a mark, yellow was a symbol.
Yellow was part of the history of French races.
This is the end of a legendary, yellow magic era!
Christmas 2020. Stay festive, stay chic!
