Interview with the owner/manager of Amore & Vita

That's sad:
VN: Have you had any contact with Chad Gerlach?

CF: It’s nearly one year since I heard from Chad; he raced for us in 2009 (scoring wins in the US) and we had signed him for 2010, but in January of that year he pulled out of the agreement and said that he didn’t want to be a cyclist any more.

We were close to his family and tried to help, but he’s burned all his bridges with them and his friends and he’s back on the street. It’s hard to run a 36 year-old guy’s life for him!

Good interview though, Fanini sounds like a stand up guy.
