Famcucine Professional Cycling Team from 1980-82.

In a era when nearly every Italian professional cycling team was sponsored by either kitchens, home improvements or domestic appliances and here we are again.

Famcucine manufactured kitchens (similar to De Tongo, SCIC and Salvarani who also sponsored pro teams). Bike supplier was none other than the marque rider himself in Francesco Moser with Campagnolo the groupsets.

Lets hope the kitchens lasted longer than the team as it didn’t really survive much past Francesco’s last victory. The team was all about Francesco (yes, he was a class act and won a lot & often in both Classics & Tours) but beyond the Classic specialist German import Gregor Braun it was a bunch of unremarkable Italians trying to pilot Francesco to his next victory.
