Rujano can win this Giro, believes Savio

I'd forgotten about this guy (and the OP :lol: ). 48kg? Rujano would get blown off the road in a gentle breeze. I guess he was more suited to the Giro which has less stages like the Tour where wind is a big factor in the first week. Rujano is 36 now so unless he has found Valverde's magic potion I am afraid Ryo would be still be dreaming.

Yeah, same weight as Ariana Grande and Dutch model Sylvie Meis, although he's higher with 1.62 meters than Ariana with 1.53 meters and Sylvie with 1.55 meters respectively!

Eva Longoria is 1.57 meters and 53 kilos! So Rujano was actually 5 kilos lighter at the 2005 Giro d'Italia, when both where in peak condition.

Gives you an impression how skinny that guy actually is!

I honestly thought they'd allow him back when the beforehand unknown Colombian monster talent won the Tour de France as he already predicted at the start of this decade.

Looks like he always the cycling prophet he thought himself! :D

This happens periodically with Rujano I think. He remembers the beauty of the races, how special the big competitions are, but because he's been out of the pro péloton for years he's forgotten all the pain and suffering in the training and the amount of commitment required to be at that level. He'll make a concerted effort to improve his level then the realisation of everything that's needed will hit him and it'll all come crashing down again, as ever.
