Forget the Tour de France, this daredevil cyclist enjoyed the ‘Pour’ de France as he sipped a glass of champagne and ate a sit-down meal – while cycling.
While cycling past the marina in Rimini, Italy, on 28 August, Michael Guerra – who rose to fame as the ‘Superman’ cyclist – tucks a napkin into his neon-green Lycra uniform.
Moments later, teammate Luca Motetta, 23, rides up next to him and pops open a bottle of bubbly using a sabre, before pouring him a large glass.
Having quaffed his drink, Michael, 24, calls for another waiter, 23-year-old Giovanni Catalano, who appears with a meal, which is impressively consumed with a knife and fork.
Marco Poziello, who filmed the stunt for Dafne Fixed, said: “We wanted to interpret the concept of incorporating training into our lunch-breaks.
“The guys are so well trained now, after a year of working together, they are simply perfect and it was pretty simple to pull off.”
