Bevor dem Ötzi nicht ein großer Sponsor die Rute ins Fenster stellt, werden imho keine Kontrollen kommen.

Da waere ich nicht so sicher. So langsam formt sich eine Allianz der groessten Jedermannrennen.

Der Nösig wird relativ weich fallen und schneller wieder begrüßt werden, als vielen lieb sein mag.

Jetzt wird er erstmal vier Jahre gesperrt. Danach darf er dann fast ueberall starten, bei GFNY jedenfalls nur noch ohne Zeitmessung und in der letzten Startgruppe.

Da gilt fuer ihn nichts anderes als fuer Pietro Caucchioli, der mittlerweile fuer einen Radbekleidungshersteller arbeitet und bei GFNY auf der Expo ausstellen und mitfahren wollte:



Hi Pietro

Thanks for sending this.

It wasn't clear to me what you want:

1. Do you want race entries or not? If so, how many? Who will be riding?

2. What do you mean by $1,125 total? The booth payment is due in full immediately as are the race entries.

Grazie

Uli

Hi Uli,
Sorry I have fill in the contract yesterday with Ty and We haven’t red all the part. There was a part where it is written total payment is due before April… so we have thought we must pay only 50%.
We will fill in this part and put the total on the credit card payment.
For the race me for sure I want to race and Ty is not sure 100%, I need to pay to race? I was 3rd, 8th and 9th in the General at Tour of Italy and I won to stages also at same race, 11th and 12th at the Tour the France…
Probably I have some people who want to race also and I would like to know if they can start with me in the first group ( for them i will pay )…I don’t race to be in the front but I want to enjoy the day with some dealers and friends.
Let me know the price for our and other registration ( 239 $ it was only for employs ), can I add some registration in a second moment, thanks.

Cheers.
Pietro

Hi Pietro

The April deadline refers to the certificate of insurance which must be provided by then.

Of course I know your racing history. GFNY is open to everyone, pros and amateurs alike. However, riders who have served a doping ban will not receive a timing chip and have to pay their entry. Usually they will be starting from the same corral as their age group but you can start like all exhibitors in the third corral.
Rule 2.2: https://granfondony.com/granfondo-2014/race/rules/

Generally the preferred pricing is only for employees but we can make an exception. How many do you need?

Many thanks

Uli

Hi Uli,
I didn’t read this rules, I don’t want the cip, I am not interested in the real race and my friends also.
I will speak with Ty, about this, thanks.
I will send you an update, if we confirm the booth.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Pietro

Hi Uli,
I am sorry for my late reply, I has been very busy with the Press Camp in California.
I didn’t want to give bad advertising to NY Gran Fondo, I didn’t saw the rules before.
So We will not partecipate to the expo, thanks.
Pietro

Hi Pietro

We have no problem with you riding. You just wouldn't get a free entry or timing chip. You would start with the other exhibitors.

Best regards
Uli

Hi Uli,
as You know Alé is a new Brand owned and made by APG, one of the biggest company for bike clothing, I don’t want to risk nothing, we never know.
I wish you all the best for the event, thanks

Best regards
Pietro Caucchioli

I know Alé and APG well and like what you guys do. If anything, it's a bigger risk not to come because that would mean Alé is shunning events that are antidoping.

We strongly believe in antidoping and implement a lifetime competition ban at first offense. However, while we don't give a second chance in competition, we believe in second chances in life because everyone can make a mistake.

Cheers
Uli

I don't think is a big problem for Ale', but I am not stupid.
I don't think you believe in a second chance on the life otherwise you should given me a different reply.
Thanks
Pietro.

Life yes, competition no. You had your chance in bike racing. A stealing cashier at a bank will never work as cashier again. A doctor misusing his license to sell drugs illegally will lose his license for good. You got caught cheating in bike racing so we think you should not compete again. But we certainly give you a chance in your new role at Alé.

I've never asked to compete in the GranFondo, just ride. I closed with the competition in 2009 and I promise to me and my family I’d never raced again. I don’t consider the granfondo a race, because the races are different.
For you this is business, for me is different I have spent most of my time riding a bike and I like to mix work with fun.
You can think what you want about me and I don’t want to persuade you I am a good person.
Sorry if I have taken your time.
Take care
Pietro
Best regards
Pietro Caucchioli

Hi Pietro,
This is not about you personally, I don't know you.

I always said you can ride, you just don't get a timing chip, which it seems you don't care about anyway.

GFNY is purely my passion. Like you, I've been and still am riding and racing for over 20 years now. GFNY is my chance to combine my passion with my work.

I've done UCI races and over 50 granfondo in Italy. Both have a start line, a finish line and a results list. No difference.

If I were you, I would ride GFNY and make sure Ale has a great expo booth and does not miss out on this opportunity.

Cheers
Uli
