  Happy to help :-)

  Well, ok but, it’s also a structural, team, budgeting, direction and all sorts of other issue

  I wouldn’t call it an analogy but maybe his criticism is a little unfair. On the other hand, the fact Cicco made a public affair out of it despite having received all the explanations and proof makes me feel he now deserves being criticised for not accepting there is nothing to discuss.

  Much as I like him (one of my favourites), I do want to attract a little attention to the coincidence of his recent performances in the current context. Not the first time a rider improves noticeably when there’s a job interview to prepare. In the same lighthearted humour of his, i hope the UCI will let him wear it at home as the rules quite strictly state you can only wear it during participation in the discipline you won in, and we all know how capable they are of interpreting rule interpretation ;-) Also, if it’s going to be retirement (please not), I wouldn’t call that an agreement as somebody will probably feel they didn’t get what they wanted.

  Agreed. There used to be a team willing to pay though. I take all these figures (that vary enormously according to who is publishing) with handfuls of salt. We don’t know how salaries are treated (especially between a UK employer and Andorran resident), we don’t know how numbers are derived and from where, if deductions have been taken into consideration, etc. but if he returns to Colombia, he’s going to need quite a bit in protection money.

  It always worries me when people so knowledgeable about a subject base lengthy detailed explanations or analysis on a single erroneous fact or figure so blatantly wrong thereby invalidating just about everything they made the effort to say. I always wanted to meet some top theoretical physicist to make sure they hadn’t overlooked something obvious as their figures for the mass of the universe don’t work out. This is like basing the US budget on a debt of 4 trillion instead of 40, something I know one person would be very capable of attempting.
