New Cap Pio On Result Spree !

Written by Team Formand United at 17:19 25/8-2024

  Italian downhill specialist Pio Giommarva was Team Formand United's biggest downhill transfer ever. And now we see why the 30-year old had a nice price tag.
  
  Six of his eight races this season has ended with Top 9 results - he wasn't even Captain in all of them - and two silver medals is the season harvest so far on Day 35.
  
  - I am very happy being in this team, and the special prepping by Dr. Ferrari and Barney Rice has been super awesome. DynEPO bars are tasty, especially at our pre-season training camp in Peru. Team work so unique too!, the Italian wizard told us yesterday.
  
  Team Formand United's legendary long term manager Ebbe Spas tells to the sports newspaper The Moon that more is to come:
  
  - I am very satisfied with Pio's Captain skills, and I call him Captain Fantastic so far. I am a bit surprised too maybe. I knew we bought quality, but he has taken us with storm quite fast, Spas says.
  
  - We could consider using him in Tours also because of his versatility, but I cannot reveal all of our plans yet. Next step is giving him some more prepping and a wild life bath in Canadian mountains to increase oxygen uptake.

  Let's see- I might keep him even longer than Falco!

mapei bianchi at 17:31 25/8-2024
  Hehe! Yeah, and it would be just fair if he'd retire in an Italian team at the end of his career.

Team Formand United at 17:28 25/8-2024
  Yes, I can imagine that your Italian heart pounds for a rider like that :)
