Riccardo Ricco - what does he do 2013?

[Michele]

Is he allowed to ride Gran Fondos? Or is he banned from those as well?

Most Granfondo events are under FCI's flag so I highly doubt he would be welcomed, althought even in that area there are some fine dodgy teams.

Doubt it, it's probably just Cipollini being a nice guy and helping out a friend.

I opt for Giordana/DMT (the company behind the whole Cipollini's brand) just trying to get a few pubblicity for free.

if you are banned from uci evens then you are also banned from grand fondo events. the grand fondo's have been on a rampage past years to get it's races clean.

Mt Ventoux record, I can feel it

 

[Arredondo]

Riccardo Ricco finished his career, as everyone knows.

What does he do now, after his career? He spoke about working in a bar, can this be confirmed?

He rode the past three weeks in France. Won two stages and some jersey

He must be clean, then.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Damn, was hoping that he would make it

 

[Miburo]

Yo that's still really REALLY good. What did he take? EPO?

He wasn't more clinic now, than Mayo was 10 years ago. The battle was as fair and square as it can get. Mayo won

Cool! Icecream! Just love the smile.

-1281 days

 

[laarsland]

Looks like he’ll need those days to obtain race fitness

 

[Gigs_98]

Weird way to spell comeback

 

[Mayomaniac]

He has moved back to Italy and is now selling ice cream near Modena.
Riccò selling ice cream and Di Luca having his own bike brand (I'd rather ride one of his bikes than a Cipo bike...), as long as they have found peace it's all good.

 

[Red Rick]

Lol I totally missed he did a 58 minute Ventoux.

I've started appreciating Ricco more over the last few years. Glad to see him doing well.

That's why he created the ketone flavored ice cream

 

[markene2]

Im still mad he got banned, such a fun rider to watch, the 2011 Giro would have been epic

 

[Bonimenier]

Only 4 more years till we can finally witness him again in a bike race.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Happy 40th birthday to Riccardo.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Just one more year to go before he can race again in Colombia
