Mobilvetta Formaggi Trentini 2001 - cycling figurine

This zamak figurine faithfully captures the jersey of the Italian team Mobilvetta Formaggi Trentini as it raced in the professional peloton during the 2001 season. Cast in high-quality zinc alloy and hand-painted in France, it reflects the artisanal craftsmanship that has built the reputation of this collection.

The 2001 season stands out as one of the most memorable years in professional road cycling. On the roads of the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong claimed his third consecutive victory, cementing US Postal's grip on the Grand Tours. At the Giro d'Italia, Gilberto Simoni delivered a long-awaited Italian triumph, sending the tifosi into raptures on the Alpine climbs. It was against this backdrop of an electrifying, hard-fought peloton that Mobilvetta Formaggi Trentini carried their Trentino sponsors' colours across Europe's great stage races.

A natural addition for collectors building out their early 2000s peloton, this figurine fits seamlessly into a collection organised by season or by national squads.
