Surprised to see that Paola Pezzo hasn't had a mention yet - one of the best cross country riders ever, 2 times Olympic champion
Multiple World champion, European Champion and World Cup winner.
Used to insist on having a full length zip on her Italian team jersey, and got more publicity for the sport than anyone else as a result. Used to model Northwave shoes back in the day - I always remember those adverts in MBUK.... made much more of an impact on me as an impressionable youth than wearing a pirahna round your neck...
