Behind the scenes at the Giro d'Italia with Campagnolo

[Augustus]

Here are a few photographs I made behind the scenes at the 2016 Giro for Campagnolo.

As usual, I am sorry it's not a retro race. But old as I am, I'm not that old to have worked them.

A lovely little adventure across the north of Italy with the Campag equipped teams, Movistar, Lotto Soudal and Astana. Great, helpful and friendly people to work with, at the race that is so user friendly to work at. Oh and the trip i reversed my hire car Merc into a hidden kerb and destroyed a wheel, avoiding a reversing team bus in a car park, because the hire car it turned out had no working horn! Which made avoiding cycle fans climbing the dolomites pre stage to get a good spot to stop and watch a bit sketchy.

Anyway, here's a handful of photographs and a link to more here:

Hi Augustus, great pics! And hi to any other Campagnolo fans out there. You might be interested in my new project, a faithful recreation of the 1984 Giro d'Italia Campagnolo service car. A bit of a childhood dream to be honest - I mean who doesn't love a cycling team car - finally realised. More pics on Instagram @campagnolocar
