The official Anamorphs' homepage

A (phyto-) pathological cycling team

The fungi that do not have sexually produced spores as part of their life cycle are sometimes called, given our mammalian diploid prejudices, the imperfect fungi. Even many sexually-reproducing fungi have an asexual component to their life cycle: the stage where sexual spores are produced is called the teleomorph (or perfect stage), whereas the asexual stage is called the anamorph (or imperfect stage).

When we are riding our bikes we are far less than perfect and we rarely have sex, so this could explain the name we gave ourselves. If you want to become one of our sponsors or to join the team or simply contact us !! The only two requirements are to be diploid and to feel like having some fun together...

Frep, Joana, Gob & Rex riding through the Säuliamt --> GPS track


[D] - Davide Gobbin Ugozaccheo The easy-going Anamorph. For him the main reason to grab a bicycle and climb a mountain or a pass are the cableways and funicolars that he can admire on the road to the top. He usually wears quite old-fashioned bikewear and no or a "six years old boy-ladybug" style helmet.	[L] - Celeste Linde Directly from South Africa the MTB specialist and the first woman to join the group. Although used to cycle upside down, she already showed her technical skills on the northern hemisphere on perilious single tracks (Inferno Triathlon) and her endurance on long ascents like the legendary Stilfserjoch.	[F] - Fabio Rezzonico *Rex* The climbing Anamorph. In his opinion biking horizontally is futile and biking downhill is dangerous. He enjoys torturing himself on any ascending road he finds. He logs maniacally every climb with his cyclocomputer, just to draw the altimetric profile and to put the diagram on his personal homepage.	Find us on acebook	[R] - Rubik Sommerhalder The Cube The triathlete of the group. This half-breeded swiss-american guy owns the right combination of chromosomes to defeat anybody. His secret? Tons of pasta at breakfast, lunch and dinner! Luckily the "Trofie al pesto" aren't on the UCI anti-doping list yet...	[P] - Pascal Zaffarano Pascalzone latino The hi-tech Anamorph. The best is only barely good enough for him. He's always looking for new expensive accessories for his high-end bike and himself. After riding 3000 Km down under in New Zealand for three months, he came back to Switzerland for his Ph.D. searching for new challenges (higher, further, faster).	[S] - Stefano Torriani Torria May not be the fastest biker, but the Anamorphs are a multidisciplinary team and Stefano is the unofficial ticinese Kubb champion, an ancient swedish game invented for the purpose of recycling the surplus wooden pieces found in all IKEA furniture kits. More recently he also became an avid runner, successfully completing an half-marathon


[J] - Joana Meyer Ju Although she usually rides an heavy trekking bike, Joana can cope with almost any Anamorph on every climb. She may not be the fastest, but she surely has great endurance, attained by hardly training her total lung capacity playing trombone... or sometimes even alphorn.	[C] - Caterina Matasci Cate Despite her shy and calm appearance Cate is a pugnacious athlete with great climbing skills... and not only on her bicycle! Well known for her habit to wake up at dawn and to stroll out to reach the mythical Sassariente peak before breakfast, if big mountains are unavailable she may content herself to move between the labs using carabiner and rope instead of the stairs.	[M] - Michele Frapolli Frep .	[A] - Dario Angeli .	[V] - Andreas von Felten .	[T] - Thomas Paternoster Noneso .	[N] - Neva The new hope of the Anamorphs. Although just two and a half year old, she already enjoys strolling around with her daddy... and even if she is still unable to ride a bicycle herself, she is already training the running stretch for her first triathlon race. And of course also swimming training has already begun...
