Hmmmm.... Not one "ITA" after all those names. You'd think the best Italian riders might have gotten an edge over all these guys someway with I suspect the ultra best and greatest components Padova can supply back then.....but I guess the saying "It's the rider not the bike" rings true with this list when taken in the context of Campy equipped winners.
