Red alert for the stolen bike to Rabottini: current investigation and an appeal for the return.
THEFT OF BICYCLE - The day was topped by another event now also under the spotlight of the Farnese Vini Selle Italy: sports director Luca Scinto with the mechanical Raffaele Falzarano have witnessed a phase of stroke of Matteo Rabottini, replacing the bike. The image of the operation was broadcast on all television networks, but something has happened out of the norm, an audience that already has misappropriated the bicycle route from left to right Rabottini. When the flagship is shared, they noticed the absence, returned straight back but nothing has served to recover the vehicle. The bike is change operation, however, was reported by RAI and the staff team is retrieving images for the identification of those present. Moreover, “Every bicycle has an internal chip with which it can determine the right bike for events of this type” Luca Scinto said after arriving, ready to go to the police for its complaint.

APPEAL – The Farnese Vini Selle Italy, hoping to have a lucid moment of a spectator at the time, perhaps for the euphoria of the event or the excitement of the show, made a gesture not weighted, calls for the immediate return of the vehicle and appeals to anyone who has seen or has information about the person who stole the bike, get in touch with the team to one of the following numbers: Phone – +39 331 1989055 | email – info@farneseselleitalia.com | FB – www.facebook.com / farneseviniselleitalia | Twitter – @ farneseselleita).
*Rough translation*

Looks to me like they just rode off and forgot not like the guy stole it.

    Brilliant.

    Mr Underpants is clearly seen running after the car with the bike.

    Let him keep it = great PR.

    He returned it and got a signed jersey and breakfast with the team as a reward, although by the look of him he seems in need of a complete team kit.

    The staff were just trying to avoid embarrassing themselves, by claiming it was stolen instead of forgotten. Except they didn't reckon on video evidence of their fail.

    I was watching this on Saturday, the OH and I were laughing at pants man trying to help Rabottini, holding the bike while they got a spare for him. We were shouting at the TV that they'd left it behind.

    It's the mechanic's fault he just drove off.

    No idea why he was just like that, it looked freezing cold on Saturday!

    My sentiments exactly.

    ...but those bikes are hardly inconspicuously designed such that you could blend into the background when out riding it!! :)
