Thank you for making the 'White House' in Bridgehampton so beautiful for all that pass by to see. 


Fred ............and Greg LeMond.
Two friends.
So many times we where together in the classics and grand tours.
So special was the day when he gived me his Mercedes 500 SEC to drive for one day in the Giro d'Italia.
The number plate was from New York.
He was sitting in the car of a director sportif to follow the stage.
We where very happy after the worlds in Altenrhein 1983.
Also on the Champs Elysees when Greg won with 8 secondes difference from Fignon.
And so many other days.....
Bye Fred, 
Greets from Jos, Mol , Belgium


Caro zio Ferruccio , sei partito per l'America tanto tempo fa , nel 1957 , ancora giovane , a 34 anni . A quei tempi affrontare quello che tu hai fatto non era per nulla semplice , ma innato era in te lo spirito di avventura , il coraggio , la voglia di sfidare il futuro sempre con spirito ottimista . tanto hai fatto per te e per chi ti è stato vicino . Per noi nipoti eri un vero e proprio mito , il nostro orgoglio . Molto spesso ritornavi in Italia e ogni volta che venivi a casa nostra a farci visita , era per noi una festa . Ci raccontavi delle tue esperienze da "Americano" con ambizione e noi stavamo tutti ad ascoltarti a bocca aperta . Dormivi da noi , con noi pranzavi e cenavi . Mamma non ti faceva mancare un piatto di tagliatelle che a te piacevano tanto . Ti abbiamo voluto tanto bene , ti ricorderemo sempre nelle nostre preghiere . Arrivederci zio Ferruccio in paradiso  . I tuoi nipoti Silvio e Miranda e tua cognata Anna .

Fred's life was richly blessed, and he generously shared his good fortune with many in the grand family of cycling. His life long commitment places him among the builders and sustainers of the sport in the United States. Thank you Fred Mengoni, so well done!

Tailwinds forever Mr M.  You will always be remembered.  You leave behind a legacy of cycling memories and touched many cyclist hearts. Rest In Peace from this day to eternity.

A working stiff I was when I got out of bed at 4:30am to race in Central Park. The working stiff label went right out the window(riders to the line). Are you doing The Mengoni?  Yes I will be there. Next thing I know I'm towing Jr riders to races in NYC. The trickle-down effect in full action mode. Thank you Fred       Charlie Seward

Racing under Fred's sponsorship was an honor. Every time I wore his jersey I felt proud to be part of his team. He will truly be missed.

Your cycling mentorship so blessed my stage racing career with our wondrous and fun trip to Italy's "Settimane Bergamasce" - a 1.5 week stage race.  You are forever cherished.  Sincerely, Dale Stetina

Fred Mengoni was a true class act, an amazing human being.  The most generous sponsor I ever had the privilege to know & race for. Tremendous memories racing with Steve Bauer, Harv Nitz & my brother Dale against the mighty 7-Eleven juggernaut.  Fred made a real difference in so many lives, far beyond the cycling world.  He will never be forgotten by those he helped.

American cycling owes you so much .  
Rest now . . . . 

Dear Fred,
You came to America as an immigrant  to follow your dreams. In the process you enabled many other people to fulfill their dreams. Your presence on East 86th street and east end ave will be missed.
Julie and Rick

Ciao Fred, I will remember forever your huge passion for life and for our cycling.
Un grande abbraccio.
p.

You will live forever in the thoughts and heart of cyclists everywhere. Rest in peace.



Caro Fred, non dimenticheremo mai quello che hai fatto per noi! Grazie! Ti vogliamo bene!

Caro Fred, per quasi trenta anni ci hai fatto sognare facendo diventare la piccola Campocavallo di Osimo un centro sportivo di valore nazionale ed internazionale per il ciclismo. Mai dimenticheremo la tua generosità, la tua umanità, la tua vitalità sportiva, il tuo entusiasmo, la tua passione per lo sport e per la vita. Hai aiutato tutti, ma nessuno è stato capace di starti vicino quando serviva e come Tu avresti desiderato, specie in questi ultimi anni tristi e melanconici! Perdonaci. Ti vogliamo bene e non ti dimenticheremo mai! 
Raimondo Orsetti - uno dei tanti amici di Campocavallo

Fred Mengoni generously provided funding at a critical time to help professional cyclists in the early 1980s. He wrote checks that made it possible for some of America's top riders to travel to the World Championships and supported development through underwriting a team based in New York City. Fred was a big-hearted patron. He made his mark on American cycling.

I managed the G S Mengoni USA cycling team for Fred for a period of almost 20 years. Through Fred's generous support
Many young cyclists were given their start
In the sport of cycling. He will be sorely
Missed. Rest in peace Fred.

Fred would ride Central Park in the evenings on his gold plated Colnago, he never spoke a word and would hang with the pack !

Fred, Your contributions to our sport will live forever through the generations of pro's and amateurs that benefited from your vision and generosity. Hopes for a sweet serenade for you for all time.

Ciao Ferruccio, sei stato un mito per tutti noi, è impossibile trovare le parole in questi momenti. La prossima pedalata sulla riviera del Conero sarà per te. Ciao nostro eroe, ciao Fred . . . .

Fred was a gentleman who was passionate about cycling and quietly supported many American cyclists who were at the start of their careers. He was a good friend and we enjoyed many meals and drinks together when he came to the World Championships. May he Rest In Peace 

I was very fortunate to have Fred Mengoni as a mentor and a passionate supporter during my days with GS Mengoni cycling team.  He was driven to succeed in everything he did and his support of cycling ensured he helped many cycling athletes aspire to great things.   Thank you Fred for the memories and the great work you have accomplished.  Your spirit will last always.

I enjoyed working for Fred. Our conversations when work was done are memories I will hold dear. Ciao amico mio. 

The Cycling World has lost an individual who did so much for cycling; and who loved to ride.

Fred lived a very long life.
Remembering your great work and friendship today and always.
RIP
