Must be a Saeco thing. Pieri is my favorite. What a beast. Rumor has it he weighs about 275lbs. now in retirement. Past times include hunting and being a tough s.o.b.

Bet he wouldn't have any problems lifting that cobblestone

Oops. Somebody beat me to it...

Even those that seem fat are much thinner than they would be if they weren't on the bike. Hahah

Bobbie Tracksel wasnt looking the slimmest when he won Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne earlier this year.

In fact i seem to remember at the time he put his win in part down to the extra fat he was carrying, helping him keep a bit warmer.

Pieri must have had a hell of an engine when you think about it!

Dominique Rouls (spelling??) Harmon kept calling him "bacon"

Lance Armstrong circa March/April. Also went by the name of Piestrong and Crapstrong, because eating too much of the former probably caused the latter.

I'll show myself out.
