Bottega Gran Fondo: Team 7-Eleven Roundtable

Join us on a cycling journey with the founding fathers of American cycling.

"Team 7-Eleven was the first U.S.-based pro squad to race successfully in Europe. It was the first American professional team to win stages in a major tour and the first to have worn the coveted yellow jersey of the Tour de France. And in a sport dominated by Europeans, the team paved the way for a new generation of cyclists to find their way into the professional ranks.

Jim Ochowicz was the person who propelled the whole enterprise forward. He assembled the initial 7-Eleven team, a ragtag collection of amateurs who, in a few short years, completely dominated bike racing." Geoff Drake, Author

Get inspired during this candid conversation with Team 7-Eleven cyclists, Chris Carmichael, Andy Hampsten, Davis Phinney, Ron Kiefel & Doug Shapiro along with author, Geoff Drake.

Moderated by TV commentator for NBC Universal Sports, Todd Gogulski
