I have seen pictures of MI in his Reynolds team days;
the whole lot of them rode TVT's with Pinarello
decals.
I have also seen a picture of him on another TVT with
later markings @ Banesto-color Pinarello bike. Hard
to think of a worse match of rider to bike unless
maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger on a Vitus!
