Fabiana Luperini Italian Cyclist (Part 00002)

Fabiana Luperini, another great cyclist that is hardly mentioned in the news or main-stream media. Needless to say that she deserves to be honored due to her absolute dedication to cycling and constant triumphs.

From 1995 to 1998 Luperini dominated women’s road racing winning just about everything in site including 4 Tours of Italy and 3 Tours of France.
She lost her 4th TDF by just a minute and a half to Edita Pucinskaite, however she was first over the top on Mount Ventoux. Since 1998, the Fleche Wallonne has become one of women cycling’s premiere events. The inaugural race was won by Fabiana and proved such a success that the event became an official UCI World Cup race. Luperini is the only women to win the Fleche Wallonne a record three times, 1998, 2001 and 2002!
