2005Rund um den Henninger Turm Fassa Bortolo (2000–2005) was a professionalroad bicycle racing team founded in 2000 and led byGiancarlo Ferretti . Dubbed the 'Silver Team', it managed to be one of the most successful teams of the era, not in the least due to top sprinterAlessandro Petacchi . In its six competitive years, Fassa Bortolo won over 200 races, including stages in all threeGrand Tours . It was one of the inaugural 20UCI ProTour teams in 2005.
Fassa Bortolo stopped the sponsorship of the team after 2005. Efforts to find a new co-sponsor for 2006 proved unsuccessful. On October 14, 2005, a man claiming to represent proposed new sponsorSony Ericsson turned out to be an imposter, leaving all staff and riders unemployed.[ 1]
Petacchi and some of his helpers moved to the newTeam Milram , a continuation of theDomina Vacanze Team. The other Fassa Bortolo riders all moved to different teams.
The main part of the riders signed early contracts with new teams for 2006, and eventually all riders found new teams.
