Guess Who - Game

[Armchair Cyclist]

And... what if it was simply about whether he's from the region of Brittany? Then I would wonder why the question was framed in terms of being a peer. But if you want to ask "Is he from Brittany?" No
Ever been teammates with Arnaud Demare? Yes


Did he ride for The Team Currently Known as Arkea in both 2016 and 2018? Yes
One of Brittany's peers? I'm not aware of an honours system in Brittany that amounts to a peerage. He does not appear in this list: https://www.ourfamtree.org/peerage.php?q=state/France/title/Duke-of-Brittany If the question is about his equivalence in human dignity to an unspecified person called Brittany, then I suppose yes.
Raced for Arkéa while it's been called that? Yes
Is the Danish teammate in question still alive? That begs the question as to whether he has had only one Danish teammate?
Ever been teammates with a Dane? Yes
Rode alongside David Gaudu for the National Team? No, but you have solved the issue of the asterisk.
Raced for Decathlon/predecessors? No
Raced for Arkéa/predecessors? Yes
Raced for Cofidis? No
Raced for Total/predecessors? No
Male? Yes
Active? No
Ever been teammates with David Gaudu? No*
Could he have been teammates with David Gaudu? Yes

 

[RedheadDane]

Did he retire at the end of last year?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

(Next time I'll just ask whether or not it's Britney Spears then)

Is he the son of a Vuelta stage winner?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I cannot for the life of me figure out the asterisk, I thought it was going to be related to either Gaudu or the rider we’re looking for’s stagiaire period but that doesn’t fit because Gaudu’s wasn’t until 2016 (if it was only 2018, Pichon would have fit perfectly…). None of the Arkéa riders that fit raced with him for club or non-championship national selection either as far as I can tell.

But there aren’t many options left, so I might as well guess: Kévin Ledanois?

Did he retire at the end of last year? No
Is he the son of a Vuelta stage winner? Yes
Kévin Ledanois? Yes

I thought that the asterisk had been cleared up with the question about "Rode alongside David Gaudu for the National Team": He was never a teammate of Gaudu's in the usual sense, so the primary answer was no, but they were both in the French team for the 2014 Ponferrada Worlds: Ledanois in the U23 and Gaudu in the juniors.

I had come across Carbel before CAS in checking for Danish teammates, which is why that question about deceased Danes seemed odd.

He is the subject of the shortest rider thread on the forum: the last post in it defended the opening of the thread, saying "worth discussing": 8 years later, almost to the day, he retired without any further comment.
