I've missed this game - I haven't been here fora while
Anyways, is it Inaki Gaston? - I can't think of anyone else it would be


(If not, was his top 10 in the Vuelta?)

 

[Ruby United]

Just realized that Inaki Gaston was Basque, no?
Can I change that guess to Jose Recio, then? Recio was one of those 'spanish-races-only' riders

 

[Libertine Seguros]

It's José Récio, the man who went up the road with Delgado, and as a result won the infamous 1985 stage when the Vuelta was "stolen".

Re:

Climber?
Puncheur?

I never like these questions; often the boundaries are blurred, especially between Sprinter's and Puncheur's (such as EBH, Peter Sagan etc. - different people will give different answers)
I always feel the question should be, "could he challenge in a flat sprint," or "could he challenge in a hilly stage/up a short steep hill" - both of these everyone would agree both Sagan and EBH can do. It is slightly less subjective.

Having said that, I will say that in my opinion he was a puncheur

(Random - non-game-related - question:

From a country with a GT Yes his country has won a GT

Err... what question are you answering?
The actual question: "Does his country have a GT?"
Or the other question: "Has (riders from) his country won a GT?"

Also, about the deduction: Some people tend to be a bit confused when I asked that question. Especially when we're dealing with someone who's retired.)

Working as a DS?
Working as a team Manager?

2) Working as a DS?
3) Working as a team Manager?

1) Due to my own doubts about the nature of the question, I clarified by writing "Yes, his country has won a GT," so I was taking the question to mean rider(s) from his country has/have won a GT

2) Yes, he works as a DS
