"San Pellegrino Wool Cycling Jersey
1959 saw the formation of the Pellegrino team with the biggest-rivals of this century; Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali. Bartali was the Director Sportif, while Coppi was to race, stir up publicity, and give guidance to the 25 younger team racers.
Sadly, aside from the team press photos, Coppi never raced with the team for he died a month later of malaria. Coppi's memory lives on with this beautiful jersey!"
I'm assuming they would be riding Coppi bicycles, no?
