Eldor-Viner-Mapei Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - first part of 1993 only
1993 and out of chaos became a legendary professional team.
Eldor combined with Viner bikes to form the Eldor Viner pro team at the beginning of 1993. But troubles started when the Eldor money never ever materialized from day 1 and Viner Cycles carried the team until Mapei stepped in just before the Tour of Italy in mid 1993. So then began the Mapei dynasty from mid 1993.
Eldor Viner team riders were a very capable peloton even if good financial management maybe never came their way. The early 14 rider team at Eldor Viner was full of talent - Della Santa, Gelfi (sadly RIP), Noe, Giovannetti, Bontempi & Ghiotto all went to future professional teams with great distinction. Losing Gelfi to depression/suicide was a sad outcome.
Eldor Viner team rider Luca Gelfi who also then rode for Mapei, Del Tongo, BresciaLat and Rose Mary professional teams in Italy
Eldor Viner professional team presentation in early 1993 when the only thing professional was the team presentation itself … the rest was financial smoke & lire mirrors and very little of the latter until Mapei saved the day
Mapei Professional Team from 1994 … where the money was real and so too were the real results
