Vivi Benotto Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - 1982-83

Sponsors were Vivi, plus co-sponsors in Selle Italia (saddles), Puma (shoes), and Benotto (frames).

Very much a boutique Italian team focused on the Tour of Italy (Giro) in both 1982 and 1983. Franco Chioccioli won the Young Rider classification at the ‘83 Giro and went on to win the ‘91 Giro. Meaningful team mates were few and far between with Gregor Braun and Jos Lammertink being the rare exceptions.
