Roberto Gaggioli is a piece of crap

Last night at the crit in Anniston, Al he attacked Johnny
Sundt with a 2x4. He was upset about some of the
meaningless crap that happens during bike races and he
tried to assult Johnny.

He caved in the down tube on Johnny's bike when Johnny used
to bike to protect himself.

This guy is a piece of crap and deserves to be suspended for
a long time.

He pulled a similar stunt a few years when he threw his bike
at another riders head and cut his head with the chainring.

I wish this guy would just go away.

USAC----please don't puss out and not suspend this a-hole.

the real rondechampion

his wife is a real champ too, working hard to make him proud in Arizona.

This link may wrap, but it'll turn up if you Google on this
group for "gaggioli" and "theif" (1998)

Seems like a clear case of assault, why wasn't he arrested?

Were there no cops at the race?

I don't see where USAC has a role if the cops don't.

There is no excuse for any sort of action like that, but
Johnny does have a bit of a rep for pulling some dangerous
stunts. Sundt is such a superior bike handler, that he can
do stuff that you are certain will take you down, only to
dash out of it at the last second. He's chopped wheels a
couple times, with his excuse being that he's a pro and his
job is to make money any way possible in bike races. Some
people don't like that.

I've rarely heard a good word spoken about Gag - this
confirms it. Good to hear nobody was seriously hurt.

Roberto is a lot of things but he doesn't get violent for no
reason. I think it likely that Sundt did more than "some ~
meaningless crap" to upset Gaggioli.

Depends on how you define a reason I guess. We see Johnny
quite a bit during cross season and he has always
impressed me as a really decent guy with an incredible
skill level. I haven't heard a single complaint in three
seasons from the officials or the guys riding with him
around here. He seems to be pretty popular. I'm not going
to claim to know him other than casually but I've never
heard anyone slam him. Bill C

does anyone rember the event where he post race he kicked
out a dudes handle bars when he rode up next to Gagg to
yell at him

Davis Phinny was the commentator if was totally wacked, the
dude was very hurt

I have had more than a few dudes tell me his water bottles
dont have just water in them

First off I am not taking anyone's side but since I have been in all these
races in the past week I will state this:

I was sitting behind Sundt when "the incident" that pushed
gag over the edge occurred. I was sitting this wheel and Gag
rolled by on the outside on a straight away, as he pulled
along side Sundt Johnny pushed gag off the road with his
right arm. They had been going since Athens and Gag decided
to handle it off the bike between the two than include other
riders during the race.

John Brady was the guy who got his handlebar kicked out from
underneath him. The result was that he broke his femur. I
think it was the Manhattan Beach GP. Early 90's. I don't
recall who kicked, though.

and using a 2x4 is acceptable behavior??? This is not the
parking lot out behind Billy Bobs Honky Tonk Bar.

Gagg has been dishing it out for years. gotta be able to
take it too...

Dan, you sound like you are defending him?

what gives, jason
