Cosatto-Marscicano Professional Cycling Team (Italy) - 1970-71

One of the smallest Italian teams featured here with barely 10 riders on the roster. The only claim to fame being two appearances at the Tour of Italy. Team members contained a past legend (in Vito Taccone) who was headed for retirement shortly afterwards, but the future was bright for Fabrizio Fabbri, Enrico Maggioni and especially Wladimiro Panizza. Panizza in particular had a stellar career with numerous Italian teams and was one of several Italian riders who gave Eddy Merckx a tough time at the Giro in the 1970’s.
