Dan Craven
Nice interview with Craven on The Cycling podcast. His enthusiasm for the sport was an antidote to Wegelius's book which I've just finished.
Who else rides their first WT at 31, and its the Vuelta? He speaks 5 languages and has a degree. Not to mention the beard.
I might just bag him as 'my man' if he's not already been nabbed

He's very open about the fact that his job is to be a mobile billboard and promote the team and the sponsor, and that shaving off his beard would devalue his 'worth' dramatically. He seems to have his head screwed on.
I know he works closely with Nedbank and they sponser some of his other projects but I've never seen it said that they paid his way into Europcar, at least not in so many words. Either way I hope he continues to earn his place.
