Video of the Italian rider performing a freakish “Superman” position while riding down a hill has spread across the internet in recent days.

When the video first went viral it prompted widespread discussion about its use in professional cycling stages, but it remains a sideshow ally piece of cycling entertainment.
Guerra previously spoke out to insist the video was legitimate and that his competitors seen in the video were not able to compete with his speed boost.

Guerra has in the past 24 hours posted screenshots of news websites in Italy running the story again.
The reaction on Twitter in recent days has been shock admiration.
The BBC’s Rick Edwards wrote on Twitter: “This is MAD, I love it”.
The video of Guerra pulling the same stunt previously also stunned the world, including cycling legend and four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome
