Pettachi at long last meets the real Pete Acky

Back in May 2006 whilst in Majorca THE USUAL SUSPECTS ( Dave Heff ,Paolo Brucciani ,Gary Vose , Duncan Orme & me ) where going up the Sanctuario de Cura climb. Just as we rounded the last corner to the top two young pro's were coming down. As they passed us they where overheard saying something about PETACCHI. When we re-grouped at the top I said to the lads "Did you hear those two lads talking about PETACCHI?"  Someone jokingly shouted "No, They said look there's Pete Acky." And it seemed to have stuck even to the point of our beloved leader Tony calling me Petacchi. So when he came to Blackpool with the tour of Britain Gill thought we would give him the chance to meet the real PETE ACKY.
