Nato Clone replaces Maffia

Written by Schiavi di Don at 15:18 8/12-2019

  One day, the Don got the brilliant idea of cloning his riders. After years of experimenting, he felt confident enough to produce a clone.
  Fico Nato was cloned. While the cloning technology worked, there were some slight flaws. First of all, the clone looks 6 years younger. This is not the worst issue, since appearance isn't everything.
  However, the clone also does not possess a similar kind of talent for riding a bike to his namesake.
  What this means, is that The Don was stuck with a rider only useful for doing jobs.
  Some people have already placed bets on the first race where the wrong Fico Nato will be signed up. Our bets are on Vuelta.
  
  This has also caused the era of the Maffia brothers doing jobs for Schiavi di Don to officially end. They have now resorted to staff functions.
