Guess Who - Game

[RedheadDane]

Male?
Active?
Are you going to be sneaky?
Are you going to be honest in answering the previous question?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Yes
No
The line of questioning determines how the answers fall, and if you ask vague questions that necessitate potentially misleading answers, then potentially misleading answers are what you'll get. I won't answer any questions with the intent to deceive.
Yes

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Of course, it is possible to choose a subject knowing that likely questions will give misleading, but true, answers. I should know, I set Philippa Yorke/Robert Millar as a target.

 

[sir fly]

European?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Is his main language from the romance group?
Born since 1//1/1960?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

A European, first-language-Romance-family speaker born since 1960.

 

[RedheadDane]

Ceased to be active before 1/1 2000?

(By the way, why do you think I always ask "ceased to be active", rather than simply "retired"?)

 

[Libertine Seguros]

It wasn't me that introduced that trick though. Somebody did that a looooong time ago with Xavi Tondó.

No, anyway.

Ever held a National Championship (RR or ITT)?
Ever raced for national team at World road championships?

 

[sir fly]

Podiumed in a Spanish stage race?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He would have had to have raced for an earlier incarnation than Movistar, as they came in in 2011 and we've already established he retired before 1/1/10! But yes, he has raced for Abarcá Sports

He has never won a national RR or TT championship
He has, however, raced for Spain at the World Road Championships
He has podiumed a Spanish stage race

 

[del1962]

He did indeed ride for Abarcá while Banesto were a sponsor, and he won a Vuelta stage after 1/1/2000.

[del1962]

Did he ride for any other Spanish Team?
Did he podium a Spanish Race now on the world tour?
Did he race a pro race after 1/1/2006?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He rode for other Spanish teams.
He did not podium a Spanish race that is now on the World Tour.
He rode pro races after 1/1/2006
And he is Eladio Jiménez.
