Stars donate bikes to cancer auction

Fancy owning a bike that belonged to Paolo Bettini, Mario Cipollini, Damiano Cunego, Igor Astarloa or Oscar Freire? The five have all donated bikes to an on-line auction to benefit major cancer research institution, the European Institute of Oncology of Milan. In addition, world number one and 2004 Giro d'Italia winner Damiano Cunego has signed 100 Giro winner's jerseys which will be available to the first donors who stump up the \u20ac350 asking price.
