I think I am down to 6 possibilities, and I can't think of any reason why any of them should be considered notable in any way, with one possible exception, a guy I read about on this forum last week:

Is he of a bodyshape not typically associated with professional cycling, but gets away with it because he is employed by his father?

If not, is he a near-namesake of a Manchester United left sided midfielder of the mid 1980s?

No to all of them.

By MU MF did you mean Robson?

No, Jesper Olsen (thus ruling out cyclespott.se's Jesper Olsson)

Team registered in Middle East?

No. European.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

So the only two possibilities I have left are;

Joao Almeida?
Gian Friesecke?

Not really.

He's Austrian. Born in 1998.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Felix Gall, Development Team Sunweb.

Re:

Bingo !

World Junior RR champion in 2015.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Dammit! He was one of my last "6", and after removing Olsson and Jolidon, I had it in my head that there were 2 at Euro teams, and 2 at Kuwaiti ones. I must have had 7 tabs open, not 6.

And Gall even struck me as someone who I had heard of, though I couldn't remember why.

Male?
Active?
Two legs?
Hair?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

You are looking for a male who is not active, with two legs and, as far as I know at time of writing, hair.

 

[Forever The Best]

Has he ever started a GT?
Is he from Europe?

 

[the asian]

Was active in or after the year 2000?

Was active in or after 1980?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He is European, and has started a GT. He was active both after 2000 and therefore by proxy, after 1980.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Is there an 'x' or a 'z' in his name?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No.

 

[the asian]

Has he won a GT?

Has he won a monument?

Is he from a country with Mediterranean coastline?

 

[vladimir]

Has he ever been top 10 in a monument?
Has he ever won a stage in a GT?

(damn the asian, we think along the same lines )

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He has never won a GT, or a GT stage.
He has never top 10ed nor won a monument.
He is from a country which borders the Mediterranean.

 

[RedheadDane]

Retired after 2010?
Retired voluntarily*?










*By voluntarily I mean no external factors, other than getting old. Cancellara retired voluntarily, Meersman didn't even if he made the choice himself.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He didn't retire after 2010, nor did he do so voluntarily.
