Mick says "Team members I can remember plus the above were: Claudio Bortolotto, Sigfrido Fontanelli, Renato Marchetti, Roberto Poggiali, Ole Ritter, Luciano Rossignoli, Mauro Simonetti, Roberto Sorlini, Mario Beccia, Josef Fuchs and Ronnie De Witte. have forgotten the rest." Ronny De Witte did ride for Sanson in 1978 as he came as part of a package with Willy de Geest and Roger de Vlaeminck. It is surely no coincidence that Moser won Paris-Roubaix that year with Roger second. Moser's Sanson in 1978 for Tirreno-Adriatico has all braze-ons apart from using brake cable clips. A month later for Tour of Flanders the frame has brake cable guides brazed on. Incidentally in Daniel Marszalek's "THE Best Road Riders IN History" Moser comes fifth and first Italian. Before you ask Coppi is ninth. This excellent list does, reasonably, reward a long career and Coppi didn't earn any points while a POW. Ray green, Brighton, England
