Alcala's old TT machine from '91 or '92. Still looks good!

in many ways it's about how mentally strong you are. look at guys like malcolm elliott, israel ochoa or hernan buenahora still maintaining a very high level at their ages.

Raul Alcala-one of the best positions on a bike I've ever seen.

A very graceful, stylish rider and an absolute god in Mexico.

If he does make a comeback, he'd have the best trash talk lines.

"I was in the Maillot Blanc before you were born!"

he already rode some races in the vuelta nuevo leon this year. I think he was 14th there in standings.
