A massive loss to the cycling community.
I had the pleasure of meeting Gianni Savio several times during my career. He was always a happy and welcoming face. He was hugely popular wherever he went.
RIP Gianni.
Desperately sad to say that my friend Gianni Savio has passed away. Thereโs a lot to add - about his remarkable career, the riders he launched towards greatness, the laughs he & I shared over 20 years & hundreds of chats - but for now my thoughts are with his wife & daughters.
