Carpano Professional Cycling Team (Italy) - 1956-66
Carpano was a Turin based wine company & Coppi supplied the bikes. Jersey design copied the Turin based Juventus Football Club with the white/black vertical stripes.
A classy Italian super team that won numerous stages in Grand Tours plus Franco Balmamion won the overall at the Tour of Italy in 1962 & 1963. The single day Classics unit was equally rewarded - Kublet (won Milan Turin), De Bruyne (won Flanders & Roubaix), Coppi (Baracchi Trophy), Defilippis (won at Piedmonte & Lombardy), Desmet (several Belgian Classics) and a youthful Zilioli (a future team mate of Eddy Merckx)
