Ariostea Ceramiche Professional Cycling Team - Ariostea (Italy) are providers of stone, marble, poreclain, ceramic wall & floor tiles. Framesets were either De Rosa or Colnago and Campagnolo groupsets. The team went from 1984-93 with Giancarlo Ferreti as the highly regarded Team Director.
The team was Italian to the core. They maybe didn’t win a lot early but major wins came after 1990. The picture above was the wet Kemmelberg cobbles in the Ghent Wevelgem Classic in Belgium
Team riders were a classy collection of outstanding athletes (mostly Italian) with a few notable foreigners towards the end. Some went on to greater things with other teams whilst others went onto either team management or team coaching with Silvano Contini, Rolf Sorensen (Classic specialist), Bruno Cenghiatta, Adriano Baffi (sprinter), Moreno Argentin (Classic specialist), Davide Cassani, Giorgio Furlan, Rolf Golz, Alberto Elli, Pascal Richard and Bjarne Rijs
