Ecoflam Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - 1986-87

The team spanned 1982-90 with the Alfa Lum sponsors in and then out. Ecoflam was just for two years. Bikes were OLMO on Campagnolo groupsets. A smallish sized team with barely 15 riders based mostly in Italian races.

Team members were Amadori, Fondriest (1988 World Pro Road Champion), Chiocciolli (future Giro winner), Gaggiolli (team sprinter) & Australian Michael Wilson.

Ecoflam Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - Gaggioli was the team sprinter

Ecoflam Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - Aussie Michael Wilson was one of the outstanding Aussies racing in Italy in that era
