I know, but after reading your dumbass comment about Beloki in the ONCE thread, it's not worth my time to give you your answer.

As a fellow member of Carl's "You belong in Darkness" club, I feel it's my job to suggest, e.g,
indiana.edulittle500.htmlOpen ↗ or search world on "Dave Blase".

Who cares? Don't you have some Kirsten Gum bashing to do?

Very cool!

Interestingly, I met a guy at the Tour of Texas in 1984 who claimed to be the real person about whom
the movie was written. He told me his name was Tony Comfort and that, when he was younger, he had
adopeted an Italian-ized version "Antonio Comforte". When I met him he claimed to be involved with
the Christian group Athletes in Action. Anybody else know Tony Comfort?

Cheers,

Jim

It's kind of a step on from "who cares?" but not unrelated...

I didn't know him but he was junior in the mid- to late-70's and he did take the name Antonio Comforti. He rode for a Colorado-based team named "Monte of Italy".

Bonus question: Name three other "Monte of Italy" juniors that went on to become well known in cycling (not just as racers).
