Molteni was a former Italian cycling team, active from 1958 until the end of 1976. Molteni was a salami producer based in Arcore, in the Milan region. The team won no less than 663 stages, and many of these victories are credited to Molteni's most famous cyclist: Eddy Merckx. This Belgian rider won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia five times. Many well-known cyclists rode for this team, such as the Italians Gianni Molta, Michele Dancelli, Marino Basso, the Swiss René Binggeli, the Luxembourgish Edy Schütz, and the German Rudi Altig. From 1971-1976, the Molteni team was built around the leader Eddy 'the cannibal' Merckx. During this Merckx era, the team consisted of a mix of Belgian and Italian riders. The Belgian domestiques included cyclists Joseph Bruyère, Jef de Schoenmaecke, Frans Mintjens, Jos Spruyt, Jos Huysmans, and Vic van Schil. The super-domestique in 1971 and 1972 was "Monsieur Bordeaux-Paris" Herman van Springel. There were also 2 Dutch riders for Eddy, in the first year (1971) it was Rini Wagtmans and in the last year (1976) Cees Bal. Two well-known Italian cyclists who were part of this cycling team were Gianni Motta and Marino Basso. These Italian cyclists had 48 and 34 stage wins to their names, respectively. In 1976, Molteni definitively stopped sponsoring the cycling team.
