New Amateur: Francesco Del Ponte
First there was Ron Mexico, now there is Francesco Del Ponte. Frank Vandenbroucke was spotted racing in the amateur Italian circut under the name of Francesco Del Ponte and Italian version of his name. This was after he was sacked by the Unibet.com team for acting like Frank Vendenbroucke. The odd part is that on Francesco’s license, he has a picture of Tom Boonen, and did not hide the fact.
In typical Vandenbroucke fashion he acted like a total douche:
According to the newspaper reports the Belgian’s race tactics consisted of setting a blistering pace at the front of the peloton until most of them dropped off.
After taking a healthy lead over the bunch after around 60km of racing, Vandenbroucke would peel off and head for home before the race finish.
