Eight years gone now. One of the most elegant climbers of all time. From the biographies, also one of the most tortured souls of all time. RIP Il Pirata.

Elegant??? I wouldn't say his style was elegant but that's just my opinion. Agree the guy should have been tortured big time in his heart, sad he is not w/us no more.

He had strange shorts/bibs. In the 2000 TDF videos, you can clearly see his butt crack through the lycra. Thin/nonexistent chamois? Not a pretty sight, but barring that, he was fun to watch.
RIP Elefantino.
