(mario cipollini)
cipo he is fast

he calls himself the fastest man on the planet, once got a speeding

ticket

for riding too fast on his bike and challenged a racehorse to a race

he

always puts on a show

for the tifosi
he's not so good in the

tours & always retires once they hit the mountains

sprinters do that though he's just so funny

people

love having him along
in italian his name

very nearly means

something like

small onions

cipo has a way cool name.
he gets fined heaps and heaps for not wearing

the legal uniforms drives race organisers mad

my favourite story is of him pulling out of a race saying he was sick

when it

turned out he'd gone off to judge a
beauty contest

here's a link

to a picture

of him

il re leone

I looove him

he makes me laugh and laugh

he says really cool things like he's the most famous man in

Rome after
the Pope. In a race around Vatican city

he wore a special white cycling number

in honour of

the Pope he

worked out
how many calories he burns while having sex

pure comedy

i don't think the racehorse thing

ever happened. that's the thing – he's all

talk (riding on grass would be tough)
