If you meet him at a race, have a look at his bike....he's on about a 56 cm frame, 140mm stem! Short legs, long back and arms.
PS-check out his quads too (discreetly). Impressive.
thanks Ed. nice to know. Great effort to come back. Up there with Sunderland, Museeuw and Pantani.
This is his year. If he is to put a stamp on his career it is now or never. At the moment his national title and a tour of Med/tour de l'Avenir will go down as his biggest wins. He was 50 metres away from a win in Gent Wevelgem, just too short, and 50 metres in the Giro, just too long. Hope he gets a big win this year.
One top 10 in Roubaix and an 11th signalled he had bigger things to achieve early in his career.
Guess getting beaten up in the bar fight with Ogrady and Millar and put in a coma stuffed his career up a bit.
