Yep, much respect for how Oscar seemed to show up big when it mattered.
That's why when I was offered what was supposedly one of his training bikes I grabbed it. The price was really good regardless but it will be super cool if I can actually confirm he rode it. Bike ultimately came from Tony Tom at Bike Odyssey so while I leaning towards the bike being authentic I won't claim so unless I can actually get it confirmed by Oscar or someone else on the team at the time. Obviously not one of the team race bikes as they were aluminum but this is his first team and the one he won his first WC with.
