39 and 17 years a pro

His name still coming up and getting some good placings .

Not quite the days when he could knock out a top 6 (5) in the tour and podium at the vuelta then go back the next year and 4th in both - consistency!

    Rafaa Chtioui is one of my favourite oddities. In the 2007 Tour de l'Avenir he won the time trial - beating Martin, Malori and Boasson Hagen.
