Howdy and thanks for the visit.

This site is run by Bill and Carol McGann. We are the founders and now former owners of Torelli Imports. A large part of this site is the non-product content originally from torelli.com: that is, the race results database, our Italian cycling trip diaries, oral history interviews, Tour de France history, etc. We are constantly adding content, data and pictures, and now that we are settled we'll continue to build the site. As of mid-2021, BikeRaceInfo.com has more than 7,000 pages..

Carol and I now live in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The cycling here is terrific. In just a couple of minutes of riding I'm out of town and riding by vineyards and pastures. Sometimes I find myself amazed that I could end up in a place so beautiful. The country roads are a bit narrow with little shoulder, but people here are kind and thoughtful. I have yet to be buzzed by an angry driver. Strangers in oncoming cars almost always wave. It's a nice place for a bike nut to live.

Here is an extended interview with Bill McGann by Michael Lander
