    No offense intended to the follically challenged members of Bikerader, but Ale Jet strikes me as the kind of person who would take the news pretty hard. He is Italian after all...

    I don't think Petachhi's that bald. Just all that gel flattens the style of Ale's barnet.

    But this was a common thing in the 80s and 90s, many pro riders were balding. Of course, some males in their 20s can go bald but measure the proportion of bald pros from the 80s compared to a representative sample of the population and the pro cyclists are much more likely to be bald!

    Might have been an innocent explanation,such as more headboard action,in that era? :wink:

    Maybe he'll put the comb-over back in fashion. He's got a nice front-to-back one going there already.
