Commentating only GT's in his native language? As already stated, as far as I know he is not commentating, but given that he would be doing so on channel(s) I don't use, I can't be sure.

Am I right in concluding that means his native language isn't English?

From country with GT?
From country with Monument?
Was he a DS for a team he'd also ridden for?

Jens Heppner
Correct.

I would suggest that there would be very few people racing GTs or monuments in 2000 who remembered the 1966 World Cup: they would have had to be about 40.

I can't remember some of the conventions that may have become established:
Have we established that 'born in' refers to the year/decade of birth, rather than born as a long term state?
Does 'active' if unqualified necessarily mean as a racing cyclist, or does it include DS/media involvement?

Male?
European?
Active (as a racing cyclist)?

I don't think it's established as a rule, but I would personally only use "born in" to ask whether someone was born in a specific year. If asking whether someone had already been born by 1966, for instance, I'd use "born before" or "alive in".

I sometimes add an asterisk or "not as a rider", if someone still works within cycling.
