CARRERA One SLX, authentic bike of Ettore PASTORELLI -Team Carrera Jeans (1989) – SOLD

Carrera was an Italian-based road bicycle racing team active from 1984 to 1996, named after sponsoring Italian jeans manufacturer Carrera and became an icon of Italian cycling successes.

Carrera Jeans became the title sponsor in 1984 and R.Visentini finally won the Giro d’Italia in 1986. At the end of 1985 the team had signed Stephen Roche as team captain for the Tour de France. When Roche won the Tour de Romandie just ahead of the 1987 Giro d’Italia, he became the number one favourite for the maglia rosa and wanted to be the team leader during the race, something that Visentini, an Italian with an Italian team and the defending champion of the event expected to be alone. This inter team rivalry came to a head during the race when Roche attacked Visentini. Roche went on to win the race and then the 1987 Tour de France. This was the only time that the Carrera Team would win the Tour and it would be the last time the team won the Giro d’Italia.

Ettore Pastorelli was born on May 24th 1966 in Concesio, province of Brescia, Italy. In 1987, he won a few races in under 23 category. In 1988 he signed for professional team Carrera Jeans. In his first year as pro, he won the prologue of the 1988 Vuelta Espana and took the golden jersey. In 1990 he raced for Jolly, in 1991 for Gis Gelati and for Mercatone Uno in 1992.
