Carmichael Training System...anybody use it? - Page 2

I thought he worked as a truck painter for DAF.
Oh jeah he was already famous for his cyling at the age of 15, for nor or barely being able to follow the pack.
When you're young growth progress is an important factor.

correct 29 it is born in oktober 1964 pro since 1994. He kept working in the factory because he was afraid of not being good enough to earn enough money to support his family also his first wife wasn't that keen on cyling after they divorced there where lay offs at the factory and his new girlfriend said why don't you try it as a pro. His first big vicory in Paris-bourges and 1999 national championchip where he litteraly slaugtered the rest of the field, just riding hard losing them one by one with a nice solo in the end. Later won a tour the stage victory, where he dubiously got banned by an action of the disputable Van de Vyvere(which has had problems before with Rolf Sörensen and others)

There are a few guys in my cycling club racing in time trials at 80 years old. One of them does a very good 25 mile TT and claims to be a pro sponsored by his pension plan!!!!

I love it when an old guy has a sense of humour. Dry wit is great.
