Paolo Savoldelli?

This guy seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. Is it because he is no longer on the sauce?

Could it be because he's long retired?

That would explain it if true. The LPR Brakes website stll lists him as a team member though.

He retired at the end of last season.

The website sucks

He retired last year, yes.

As I said in the other threads, he still had decent results in the Giro (5th, then 12th, then 15th) in his last three years. He was declining, but I do not know if this related to doping (or absence of). Maybe he was just being worn out?

You seem to think all are on the sauce?

I am coming around to this way of thinking, yes.

Somehow i had the feeling he was less motivated the last couple of years. He didn't look as a great help for Armstrong as well, i think i remember him giving up working for LA in TDF 05 quite early in the mountain stages. He wasn't a Heras, Azevedo or Landis who could stay with LA very long in some tours.

"Il Falco" had some great results in his career though, 2 giro wins, as well as 2nd, 5th, 9th overall and a stage victory in the TDF.

Wasn't he a client of Dr Cecchini or was that Dr Ferrari? I know he went to one of them. So all I ask is that if your going to deliver the bad news to me, do it gently, I have his poster on my wall climbing the Colle della Finestre in the 2005 Giro and I loved watching him desend down the mountains.

He's probably working with his old man on a building site somewhere in Bergamo.

Yeah, but maybe he commutes to work in bicicletta.
