“These efforts took Confente so far as winning multiple gold World Championship medals and a silver medal at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games while riding for Italy in the team time trial event alongside two of his Bencini teammates.”
Silver medal at the 1964 Olympics men’s100 km team time trial? Not according to Wiki or Olympics.com. 1963 Amateur worlds championships? No, another Italian won.
This appears to be a misinterpretation of earlier publications where the other Bencini team members won the medals.
you know, john boyer has several confente bikes-i bought one several years ago-and knew him quite well. also, roland della santa has aquired many of marios tools
Going via the testimony of this website, and another that I’ve read: this be the 2nd most interesting MASI-related piece that I’ve read, yet.
Fabulously interesting article, Susan and Jim. Thanks for helping us better understand this decent person and oft celebrated but little known cycling legend. Anytime such a brilliant star’s career ends so early it makes you wonder what might have been. Certainly this time is no exception.
