Astana should change their name to Astana followed by the name of the Italian capital, or AS Roma for short.

It was picked up on, but the poster promptly deleted it.

Well I deleted it here, but then I moved it to the Astana thread instead.

I am only 99% sure about this, but as far as I can see, Matyas Kopecky is the first rider ever to have ridden for Team Novo Nordisk (who have gone by that name since 2013 - the year before they did have a few actually pro riders, so that doesn't count) and then succeeded in moving on from that by getting a contract with a different professional team.

That‘s not that hard to do with only eight riders on the team, though.

5000 days ago was stage 14 of the tour de france - the infamous one where Cav lead the peloton up the final cat 1 climb, tack gate, & LL Sanchez taking his final tour win.

feel old yet?

No. Both of those mentioned were active less than three years ago.

I feel like there have been several stage 14 of the Tour in the last 5000 days.

But only one stage 14 has been 5000 days ago.

But only one stage 14 has been 5000 days ago.

BTW, I'm... still kind of lost about the year...

No because I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about 🤣

I was already well on the way towards old 5000 days ago.

Well, LL Sanchez has won only one 14th stage as well. So that's your hint.

Edit: @SHAD0W93 has spoiled you with a spoiler. No spoilers in the forum. I thought its a mutual agreement.

 

[tobydawq]

No. Both of those mentioned were active less than three years ago.

And Sagan also featured prominently on the stage and finished second if memory serves me right. It was quite a foray he had that day in the mountains clad in green and then when he was taking a feed, Sánchez attacked. Even Gilbert was just looking at Sagan who was having his debut Tour but already had built an incredible aura with 12 wins in 2 months. A sign of things to come of noone ever wanting to collaborate with him.

We’re still waiting on @Armchair Cyclist saying who the other active rider besides Quintana is that won a stage in all GTs and major 1 week.

I'm not exactly keeping track of those things.

Cav leading the peloton up a climb was a major giveaway. Only time he did that was 2012.

I'm not exactly keeping track of those things either.
Especially not situations that happened over 10 years ago.

That was in the Nairo Quintana thread, you have misremembered anything about it being an active rider, and the second guesser, @SafeBet , got it right: Jalabert, as I confirmed in that thread.

Your post made it sound like there was another.

There is a reason I used the present tense ("has"): Contador had, but now removed. And I would have been a very long time before I guessed Jalabert if I hadn't seen it before posting.
