I have had this screen name for four years. I used it at first because of my admiration for a gutty, cocky and often unmatched little Italian who despite his drug problems was one of the great characters, if not cyclists, if not the best climber, of our generation.
He'd had problems in recent years and I always hoped he'd somehow manage one last stage win somewhere.
I'm sad. All of the cycling world should be. Faults and all, he was a great competitor and the sport is lesser without him.
