Fassa Bortolo : the end
Cyclingnews reports that FB are finished as team in the pro peloton.
Petacchi has already signed with Domina Vicanze for Euro 3m. Sad to see a team implode but given the Frigo revelations, it's not surprsing that Ferretti couldn't attract another sponsor. |

Plus, Fassa Bortolo really only worked around Alessandro Petacchi, so a much of good sprinter boys. It was not a all-round cyclist team.

I don't know about that. Fassa has been a great part of the peleton for the past few years. They often get guys in breaks - and yes, the Petacchi train has been a pleasure to watch. I will miss them. I was a great fan of Domina Vacanze/Acqua Sapone during the Cipollini/Zebra era. Perhaps this will be the renaissance of that team. Maybe they will even bring back the zebra stripes. |

Agreed. They didn't have a GC man for the grand tours (how many teams really do), but Flecha and Cancellara gave them options other than sprinting. Winning Milan-San Remo (a very big race in Italy) and third in Roubaix is very respectable.
