Remac Fanini Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - 1987

The team itself eclipsed 1984-88 but Remac featured in 1987.

Remac was agricultural machinery with Mr Fanini very much in the Mr Squinzi (Mapei) role as a primary $$$ benefactor. Money was correspondingly limited with just 15 riders on the team roster with an Italian program. Framesets were Alan and they flexed in the extreme with excessive bottom bracket sway. Sorenson, Beccia, Gavazzi & Cimini took wins in Italy but that was about it. The team completely folded at the end of 1988.
