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.

Iban Mayo - I definitely think he could snag a stage in the Giro. Good climber on his day.


but his day was some time in 2002 wasn't it?
2003 Alpe d'Huez. The day they all took turns to attack Armstrong. Mayo 1st on stage with Vino 2nd.

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