Riso Scotti was an Italian team from 1998-99 and came out of the demise of the MG Technogym team. The primary sponsor was Riso Scotti (rice producer).
Team managers were unchanged from MG Technogym in Bombini, Volpi, Leali & Ferretti. Framsets were De Rosa and groupsets were Campagnolo.
The dates of 1998 & 1999 are something of an indication that team performances were “interesting”. Team members included Baldato, Bobrik, Schefer, Casagrande, Cenghialta, De Luca, Minali (won a Giro stage), Micelli (also won a Giro stage) and Basso. History would be unkind to some but dull it most certainly wasn’t.
