Holiday snaps and videos

Some of the GP boys were over in France and Italy recently watching the Tour de France. Plenty of coverage from the trip over on www.meogp.com and a photostream from Flickr below. Good times...

Instant Bike Lane

Nice idea for safer night-time cycling over on the Wired blog.

Gruppo N°2

Pope John Paul II receiving a 50th anniversary Campagnolo groupset (1983).

Bartoli Comeback?

Rumors abound that Michele Bartoli, who was arguably the best one day classics rider of his generation, is coming back to the professional ranks.

Looking at the photo of him training with Basso, he certainly looks fit. Note the Pinarello Prince kitted out with Campagnolo Super Record, carbon wheels and SRM. Not a bad training bike.

For a walk down memory lane, here are a couple of video clips of 'Miki' at his best. First clip is 1997 Liege-Bastogne-Liege, where he first rides Alex Zulle, then Laurent Jalabert off his wheel...

A classy solo victory at the 1996 Tour of Flanders...
