In 1997, Mario Cipollini was at the peak of his dominance, leading the sprint train for Saeco–Estro.

Nicknamed “Super Mario,” Cipollini wasn’t just fast — he was the sprinter of the late ’90s. Saeco–Estro was built around him, with a disciplined lead-out squad designed to control the chaos of the final kilometers and launch him perfectly toward the line.

That season, he racked up win after win, especially in stage races like the Giro, where his speed and positioning made him nearly unbeatable in a bunch sprint. When Saeco hit the front in 1997, everyone knew what was coming — and most still couldn’t stop it.
