Anyone heard of/following the Semper Porro story?

[Bruce K]

Totally bats@@t crazy...

The rumors, stories, etc seem to paint a pretty scary picture.

Almost Tiger King for cycling....

Crazy and bike racing go hand in hand, but that's a whole other level.

Crazy...but not really that surprising. I've run into quite a few people like that in the MA world and I'm always surprised at the number of people who fall for it and allow themselves to be manipulated. There are multitudes of reasons why they fall into it but it almost always turns out bad at some level. This type of stuff has been going on since humans developed ways to communicate with each other....cycling teams to whole societies.

I saw it yesterday and it was quickly taken down. This was the first I'd heard about it and I'm local, though not part of the racing scene any more and I think being a sub-mediocre Cat 3 might not have made much a part of the racing scene anyway. The only reason I'd ever heard of Semper Porro before this was the association with Summer Cycles/Gaulzetti.

Crazy story- I watched all the videos while on the trainer this winter-
Then I didn't know why it all disappeared.
