Gino's Italian Escape ...L'Eroica bikes

[Deleted member 35268]

I don't usually watch this garbage (but I lover Italy) and I was shocked to see Gino cruising on an old racer in Tuscany with droves of other cyclists skimming past.

If you want to catch some nice bikes, check Episode 6, about 15 mins in.

Does the clip feature footage of this Gino chap being assaulted repeatedly with a heavy implement?

If not, I'm out.

I watched it because I like Tuscany, that Gino is a bit annoying. The L'eroica segment was a bonus!

Gino's saddle looks a bit low!

I've always liked him, but his recent appearance on Jonathon Ross sealed the deal. He was asked about trick or treaters and said his response to kids knocking on the door was to tell them to f*** off!!

Yeah, how much do his production team hate him, putting him on a bike with the saddle in the wrong position like that?

It was OK but only a few minutes of course.

I quite fancy.... riding in Tuscany now.

Got to sign up to ITV to watch it and then I have to disable the adblocker so unfortunately I'm out.

Set the TV to record the 11am Sunday repeat... but you're not missing much.

Yes gino's not bad -he plays up the italianess a bit but not overly so..unlike francesco di da whatever who should be thrown in a bucket of something terrible. Rarely seen a guy so in love with himself.
Gino's recipes have the real merit of being quite simple and not over complicated or poncey. I know one italian who is a fan and i've been fed a few of his creations. It may have been false modesty but i also remember him saying that he didn't wear speedos as he didn't think he had the body for them. Having spent a bit of time on italian beaches, can't help but pray that a fair few wannabee seriously ageing italian guys had taken this advice as they imagine nubile young women sneaking glances at them.

Will try to check out the clip/prog.

I saw it. He looks so uncomfy on a drop handlebar bike. Mind you, those tight pants and non cycling shoes didn't help.

Bit harsh.

Bit harsh.

Perhaps.

At least the OP didn't mention James Martin.
