Fisto Will Destroy You at Coppi

If you’re racing the Cat 5 at the Giro di Coppi, be prepared for our own Fisto Coppi (notice the creative mixing of the name of the He-Man character and the famous Italian cyclist?) and the pain he will bring to the field. Not only does he bear the Steel Fist of Death, but he also possesses Wolverine-like knives in his hand and shoots lasers from his helmet (a Lazer, no less. Ha! Get it?).

Confused? This is what happened after teammate Richard wrote the team listserv to let us know that tomorrow would be his glorious comeback from a crash at Ride Sally Ride that left his wrist shattered and now held together with titanium pins and plates. A lengthy discussion ensued, and next thing you know we’ve got ourselves a priceless image of what we hope Richard will look like tomorrow. We’re a creative bunch.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Just look for the guy with a steel fist and wonky accent at the start line.
