The UCI's furtive American outreach campaign: "Pros Other Than Lance" Clothing
I couldn't help but furrow my brow in bemusement at the jacket Andrea Tafi was sporting last weekend in San Francisco. No longer will Euro-pros walk American streets in anonymity:
I wish Andrea would turn around so you could read the back:
Hello, My name is Andrea.
I'm very famous in Europe.
Ask me about my palmares which get no American press:
Paris-Roubaix?...Won it
Ronde van Vlaanderen?...Won it
Giro di Lombardia?...Won it
Paris-Tours?...Won it
Italian National Championship?...Won it
No, Lance wasn't there but I would have kicked his ass too.
Yes, all Italian pros sport impeccably coiffed, frosted hair.
I'm available for photographs. Impress your friends!
No, I don't know where Lance Armstrong is.
