Bottecchia to race at the Giro!
May 20, 2008err.. the 13th Giro delle Pesche Nettarine di Romagna
factory team Bedogni Natalini Gruppo Praga Monsummanese wears the Bottechia name with pride in the race dedicated to nectarines
Bottecchia enthusiasts disappointed by the company’s absence from that other Italian Giro will be proud to know that the cycling icon is still dedicated making its presence felt on the national racing scene. Team Bedogni Natalini Gruppo Praga Monsummanese will be fighting for the prestigious maglia verde of the Giro delle Pesche Nettarine on the roads of Emilia Romagna, passing through noted regional centres like Imola and Ravenna. Let’s cheer on our team.
By the way, given the utter lack of cycling apparel for Bottecchia fans (in comparison with the abundance of fashionable shirts for Bianchi and Wilier), it might be nice for the company to start offering Team Bedogni Natalini Gruppo Praga Monsummanese shirts and shorts for sale on its website and through its dealers.
Yes, Bottecchia should offer some cycling kit to their followers – all two of them – but this shirt is ugly!
Shim: I’m sure there are at least three Bottecchia followers. Yes, the shirt is ugly but it’s all we got.
“Yes, the shirt is ugly but it’s all we got.”
So much for Be proud, be Bottecchia…
I absolutely agree with this !

Hi Bottecchia enthusiats of the world.
I wrote from Spain and I would like to know about any Bottecchia wear (maglia, culottes, etc…)
Do you know if it´s exists? Where can I buy?
Thanks a lot
Hi Rodjo:
That’s a good question – there’s some stuff (mostly older team kits) on e-bay but there’s no sign of any official Bottecchia wear from the company itself. The joke where I am is that all the Bottechia riders wear anything but Bottecchia gear…
