On Chaves

Silly Old Hector

I hope I haven't jinxed the outcome, but is anyone else as impressed by Chaves as me.

He comes across really well on the OGE Back Stage Pass clips and seems to have out performed his team's expectations (they wanted top ten - currently 5th (although I haven't seen the final stage yet).

My man for a couple of years now. Love the guy and he has the talent to match.

Once you have read those I wager you will like him even more!

He has signed with Orica with another three years. Seems the relationship is working very well for both parties. Would be nice if Orica now got some proper mountain domestiques to help him and Yates bros, although I guess those three could help eachother. They have signed my man Tux as a mountain domestique for next year so that's a good start.
