Cool paint job. Perhaps misplaced effort by Bianchi? Is this the guy they want to be supporting?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bike but I would not indulge Ricco, he does not deserve this, it will only go to his head.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same guy who threw his bike across the finish line of a stage at the 2008 Tirreno-Adriatico when he was beaten in a two-up sprint at the top of a climb. He blamed the other rider for his own mistake, he switched his rear wheel into the other rider's front wheel causing his bike's chain to skip. It's always someone else's fault, right Riccardo? We can only hope he disappears into oblivion. Cycling neither needs nor deserves fools like him. Vai a farti fottere as they say in Italy!
ReplyDeleteRicco? Bianchi, say it's not so. Such a great Bike name you can do better that Ricco.. Come on Guys. Bill
