Guess Who - Game

[BigMac]

Not Diego Rosa.

Not on Movistar.

Has won a MTF.

Rode the Giro last year.

Did not ride the Tour last year.

 

[Jspear]

Is he Italian?
Is he from France?

 

[BigMac]

Yes.
No.

Bonus hint, from the Northeast part of the country (Veneto and above regions).

I'm sure you'd hit jackpot if you asked more specific questions.

 

[Echoes]

Enrico Battaglin?

 

[BigMac]

Enrico Battaglin?

Yes! Enrico it is.

 

[Echoes]

Enrico Battaglin?

Yes! Enrico it is.

You knew that I placed most of the top Italians on a map, didn't you? That was the bonus you never should have given, lol.
So that way I could gerransize everybody (my only way to win, asking questions is too boring, lol)


I've got one that nobody will find.

 

[Jspear]

Are they from Belgium?
Did they retire before 1990?
Have they ever won a monument?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Is it Guido van Sweevelt?
Jos Lieckens?
Edwig van Hooydonck?

 

[RedheadDane]

Has he ever top 10ed in an obscure (semi) classic, which no longer exists, but was obviously far better than some silly GT?

 

[Echoes]

If it's just an excuse to humiliate me, I won't go any further ...

 

[RedheadDane]

Aww! We're just having a bit of harmless fun at your unmatched love for the classics.
Flo once got asked a series of questions that were basically evolving around Contador.


Now for the more serious questions:

Male?
Active?

 

[Echoes]

Male Belgian, inactive as a pro rider. The rest is no.

 

[RedheadDane]

Active as an amateur?











Figured I'd cover all my bases.

 

[Echoes]

Sorry, only now got home (sic)


To my knowledge he must be totally inactive by now but you never know with these guys, they may still be racing at club level. He's a former pro, that's for sure. Retired after 1990.

 

[Jspear]

Retired after 2000?
Is he from Europe?
Would you consider him a domestique?

 

[Echoes]

Belgium is in Europe, I guess.

Retired after 2000. He would be a domestique on many a race but could have some "free roles" too, I'd put it that way.

 

[jaylew]

Did he ever race cross (as a Pro)?

 

[Echoes]

Yes, he did.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Is he from Flanders (broader geographic description i.e. Flemish-speaking Belgium)?
Is he from Flanders (narrower geographic description i.e. the provinces known as Flanders)?

 

[Echoes]

Based on his birth place but also very probably where he was raised and where he lived when he was active, he's a Fleming from the broaden region currently referred to as Flanders but NOT from the "Vlaanders" (the provinces of East or West Flanders).

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Have they ever finished on the GC podium of the Ronde van België?

 

[jaylew]

Ever win a cross World Cup race as a professional?

 

[Echoes]

Re:

Have they ever finished on the GC podium of the Ronde van België?

Who were you thinking of? I don't see anyone on the GC podium of the Tour of Belgium that fits with the description. So, no.


No, Jaylew, he's never won any World Cup cross event as a pro.

Nobody in particular, was hoping to try to narrow things down, but I forgot the race didn't run in the 90s!

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Has he ever won the belgian cx champs?
