Tales from the Peloton

Season-end high jinks at Fassa & Saeco

With the year over as far as races go, teams are getting together to plan 2004, and to just hang out together and have a little fun. Olympia Photo's Roberto Bettini tagged along with the Fassa Bortolo team at its annual 'sports day', where riders raced bikes and carts for a chance to take a Ferrari for a spin. It turns out Alessandro Petacchi is quick on four wheels too.

Meanwhile, over at Saeco, there seems to be some dispute about just who that rainbow jersey belongs to. Gilberto, give Igor his shirt back, it's your turn next year...
