I'm talkin' 'bout Mario Cipollini, who, at age 40, is coming out of retirement to race professionally. Story here:

Californians keep an eye on your women. It was an amazing thing to see how they swooned over Cipo when he came to race in Georgia.

So is he racing again to win, or doing for the women?

Is it either/or? He always seemed to manage both pretty well.

So Cipo's back. Great to see an icon returning to see how bad he is now.

One of the great characters of European racing.

I'm not sure he is going to race, he might just be "coaching".
