"Mario Cipollini" (; born 22 March 1967), often abbreviated to "Cipo", is a retired Italy/Italian professional road cycling/cyclist most noted for his cycling sprinter/sprinting ability, the longevity of his dominance (his first pro win came in 1989, his last in 2005; 191 victories in all) and his colourful personality. His nicknames include Il Re Leone (The Lion King) and Super Mario. He is regarded as one of the best sprinters of his generation.

We are taking risks every day on twisty and slippery final sections.
I'm very surprised I won but I'm also very happy. People keep telling me I'm too old to win at 38 (later this month) but I'm enjoying proving them wrong.
In the last few weeks I've been training hard for Milan-San Remo and I think my form is pretty good. I needed to see if I'm still competitive with the other sprinters and I think I got the answer I was looking for.
He is an intense man. And he's an artist, and like all the real artists, he doesn't always fit in with normal rules.
