Guess Who - Game

[Libertine Seguros]

He was active by 2005.

He wasn't a conspicuously bad descender, but he wasn't a conspicuously good one either.

 

[BigMac]

I should stop making questions, it's making it harder, lol.

Has he ever ridden for a Portugal-registered team?

Did he retire after 2007?

Is he Spanish?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No
Yes
Yes

 

[BigMac]

Was he primarily a one-day-racer?

Was his actual birthplace within Spain near the sea (not necessarily the Med)?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No
Not on the sea but relatively close

 

[BigMac]

Hmm... Triki Beltrán?

If not, did his last team belong to the WT/PT?

Would you consider him a climber?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No
No
Not really

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Is he Basque?
Did he ever finish a GT?
Did he always ride for Spanish teams?

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Did he ride at least one TdF

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He is Basque
He has completed at least one GT
He has always competed for Spanish teams
He has competed in at least one Tour de France

 

[BigMac]

When I asked if he retired after 2007, I meant ''did he retire after the end of 2008 (season)''. Did he?

 

[BigMac]

Anyway, the answer has to be David Herrero.

Edit: Actually, no, it's not him. I quit.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Did he ride for Euskatel in his last year as a pro?

PS: (yours are so goddam hard)

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Why can't it be David Herrero? It's David Herrero.

He's European
He's male
He's moderately handsome but not especially so
He's never been Spanish champion
He's won races
He's not active
He's not a sprinter
He retired before 2010
His homeland doesn't border the North Sea
His homeland does border the Med
He was already active in 2005
He wasn't conspicuously good OR bad in descents
He's never raced for a Portuguese team
He retired since 2007 (this is the difficult one because of how you read it and how I read it)
He is Spanish
He's not primarily a one-day racer
His hometown is near the sea but not on the coast (Bilbao)
His last team (Xacobeo-Galicía) was not WT/PT
He's not primarily a climber

He retired since 2007 but rode the vuelta in 2009? Did he make a combeback? If so Gustavo Veloso?

 

[BigMac]

I need to learn how to read. Competed, not completed!

Ok, got a rider. Mind end up shooting myself on the feet with this one.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

That was the question of interpretation above - I read the question as "was his retirement later than 2007?" as we'd already established he'd retired prior to 2010 (establishing we're looking for somebody whose career ended between 2007 and 2009), whereas BigMac judging by their later post intended it as "did he retire after the 2007 season".

Male?
Active?
>80kg but somehow able to climb with the best, but only during the month of August, fat, bearded and completely feckless outside his home country?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

I thought the answer was David Herrero???
I guess 'retired since' could also be read as 'retired after', no?

No.
No.
It's not Cândido.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Eneritz Iturriagaechevarría!

In the (highly likely) eventuality it isn't the Basque TT queen...

European?
World champ in any discipline?

 

[BigMac]

Priceless, not her either though. Frankly, I had never heard of Eneritz Iturriagaechevarría, her time was before I started watching the ladies. Not that the rider I have in mind wasn't active even before.

No.
No.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

So last three riders were all part one day of the Basque orange squad, This one too?

Edit: nvm female

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

US rider?

 

[Echoes]

Is he a Colombian likely to be WAY >80kg when his career ends and who won a stage at the Tour of Belgium in 2012?

 

[BigMac]

Not a Basque.
Yes, from the US.
Not La Banana either, it's a women you're looking for.
