[Armchair Cyclist]

Trudging through lists of winners of races that are currently WT but might not have been considered major at the time (it is when the answer is not a simple yes or no that the biggest clues are given), and asking myself who might have got top 10 in GC from among them, without having won something big.

I also discovered that he is one day older than me!
