The first episode is about the Espada, with which Miguel Induráin set a new world hour record in 1994. The first episode of Fausto Talks can be viewed on the official YouTube channel. The five subsequent episodes of the Fausto Talks series will be released on the 4th of the following month.
Company President Fausto Pinarello says: "Throughout my career I have been passionate about taking bicycle design and technology to new levels, and along the way I have amassed a collection of bicycles that have achieved these goals. I felt now was the right time to share some of these historic models with the world by sharing some fun facts, anecdotes and stories about their design and the great athletes who rode them. It was like opening a time capsule and when I saw them again, I immediately felt transported back to the time of their development, which brought back many fond memories. Creating this Fausto Talks series was a great experience and I hope people will enjoy revisiting the bikes and champions that helped make Pinarello what it is today."
