Brianzoli Essebi Pro Racing Team (Italy) - 1984-87

A pure Italian pro team from 1984-87 with only 15 riders but loaded with talent. Francesco Moser took the Hour Record (picture above) but the team also won the Tour of Lombardy (with Gibi Baronchelli) and Moser & Thurau took stage wins in the Giro. Tony Rominger was only a neo pro at this point and went onto much bigger & better things in the years to come.
