Group Strada Dreher Professional Cycling Team (Italy) - 1970-72
The Dreher family started their quality Austrian beer brewing business in 1780 which continues strongly to this day. Dreher sponsored the team for 3 years (until the end of 1972) then sponsorship moved to the more well known Brooklyn Chewing Gum from 1973-77. Beer marketing had a real cycling team focus with team riders displayed on Dreher beer cans of your choice.
The Dreher team in the first three years was comparatively small in number (Brooklyn had a substantially bigger team roster) but contained some serious talent in Roger De Vlaeminck (won Paris Roubaix, Milan Vignola and stages in the Giro & Tirreno Adriatico), Patrick Sercu, Ole Ritter, Julien Stevens, Luigi Sgarbozza and Pierfranco Vianelli (Olympic Champion 1964).
