Chateau d’Ax Professional Cycling Team (Italy) - 1983-93
Originally sponsored by Supermercati Brianzoli (1983-87), then Chateau d’Ax (1988-92), then finally Gatorade in the last season in 1993, when the team flipped to Polti sponsorship in 1994 and beyond. Chateau d’Ax were Italian furniture manufacturers and the bikes were Moser then Bianchi. Groupsets were Shimano. Team management was Gianluigi Stanga & Claudio Corti (not enjoying the sound of that)
The team won numerous races from Grand Tours to one day Classics. Gianni Bugno won a World Championship in 1991 in Stuttgart (plus a Tour of Italy). Accompanying victories by Laurent Fignon, Dirk de Wolf (Leige ‘91), Ivan Gotti (again a big no thank you), Alberto Volpi (not him either) & Tony Rominger. An odd bunch with a poor track record that couldn’t keep away from the toxic cycling lolly jar. The Polti team subsequently took on Virenque which says it all.
