| I recall in a magazine not too long ago, i.e. a year or so, they interviewed a lad from tunisia who came 2nd or 3rd in the world junior road race champs. Whatever happened to him? I felt he would be a huge talent if he received the right funding and correct coaching, etc. |

He was as the UCI Cycling school in Aigle I think. Hairy legs, no wonder he didn't win the races  |
