“LOOOOOL, never would have thought of takin a pic of me and the lion king!!!
I usually stay behind the objective, not in front, but this time I had to take the opportunity!
Mario was one of the eligible captain for the race. Each of the 110 competitors would have loved to have him on the team, making the pace and also to say “i’ve ride with Cipollini in my life, together, along with him” ahah.
He was very available to all the people and very nice throughout the whole day.
He still has a effing superb physique!!!wooow, he’s ssssoo in great shape, but we managed to beat him ahahah!!!! He with his team arrived second at 6” from us!
Sorry Lion, next time ahahahaha”
