Default MENGONI U.S.A. (from Sergio Servadio)



Hello Everybody!,
I am posting this message for Sergio Servadio, a good
friend of mine and occasional contributor who at present has no access
to this NG.
If anyone has valuable information about Mr.Mengoni, and possibly a
suggestion about how Sergio could contact him directly, please
forward directly to <servadio@mail.df.unipi.it>.

Thanks from us both

Marina

The other day I was talking with an acquaintence of mine in Osimo
(Italy) and he mentioned this Italo-American, Mr. Mengoni, who supposedly
should be a prominent figure in road racing, in the New York area I guess.
I would cherish any piece of information about the gentleman and his
activity as regards to cycling.

Thank you

Sergio
Pisa

Sorry to report that he passed away several years ago. I looked for an
article and could find nothing. If I run across any info I will post it
then.

A google search brought up a web page for the CRCA's 2003 Mengoni GP.

About Fred Mengoni
The Mengoni Grand Prix is sponsored by Fred Mengoni, a former competitive
cyclist from Italy who has played a key role in the development of bike
racing in the US. He founded the GS Mengoni team with has included George
Hincapie, Mike McCarthy, Steve Bauer and Oscar Pineda among its alumni and
considers himself one of Greg LeMond's closest advisors.

It seems like they are referring to him in the present tense.

Wasn't there a New York Times article on him last year? They had a picture
of him at the time and seems to me that he was looking pretty old but
chipper.

He is pretty old, but he still gets on the bike and puts on the miles. I
recall last year seeing him about 20 miles from home climbing up a hill.
He wasn't real fast, but he made it up. I hope that when I am his age I
too am out on the bike putting in the miles.

Let us not forget Wilson Vasquez, who in 2001 was beaten by a chick at
the "Tour of Denville" in suburban NJ, along with Mr Verheul.

Sorry, but I could not let that fact slide.

That is who I am talking about. I did not think he got out of the hospital
when he was ill recently. If you really have seen him since then, I am very
happy to be wrong about this.

First it's reported that he passed away. Then he was ill in the hospital.
Where do people get this? Not too long ago he was hit by a car in FL, IIRC.
But he recovered and is back on the bike as someone else has reported here.
Don't bury the guy before his time.
