So today I saw something strange... Davide Rebellin riding about 2 minutes ahead of the race at the Giro di Lombardia.. I was near the top of San Fermo and after the first lead cars came through, a guy dressed in white zipped past.. I wasnt quick enough to get a pic, but when I saw him I had that second look you give when you see someone you think you know .. I really wasnt sure, but then when he went around the next corner I heard the tifosi going crazy and shouting "Davide... davide..."... The guy is clearly banned, abd wont be coming back any time soon. I wonder what he was doing... He had a cool white kit on, didnt catch the team - certainly one Ive never seen or heard of before...

    Could be another ex pro caught doping going a bit funny in the swede (Swede- the vegetable not anything to with Magnus Bäckstedt's mother country).
    If you want to be his buddy (Magnus) try the track at Newport, Wales. Shh...i didn't let on ok.

    I think a few doped riders seem to skulk around races. I think Rasmussen was seen aabout a few races and I remember Alex Zuelle was watching a race and being spotted as if on CCTV. "Have you seen this criminal? Guilty of crimes against the Peleton."

    I saw Ricco on the Petit St. Bernard the day the tour came through riding plain white kit, still on his team issue scott. Instantly recognisable due to speed of ascent, rat like face and stupid bleached hair.
