6. Charitable Spaniards who later had a conspiracy with freedom.
ONCE?
Bingo.
Just for laughs - what's the conspiracy with freedom?
I guessed it as some sort of Astana or Saiz reference, got it from the charitable bit obviously
**EDIT- Liberty-Seguros reference also?***
More guessing, 1. WADA?
Yes, Liberty Seguros.
WADA no.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Another punt at 5. Thought I was in there with SuperMario Cipollini.
Staying with the Caesar theme, came, saw, conquered, guess at Sandy Casar, so
5 S (or C though got bounced on Cipollini)
The Roman reference is a decoy.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Is the Came, saw, conquered one something to do with Sastre or Riis ?[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Cycle club in Manchester - I can only think of Manchester Wheelers but seems too obvious and I can't think what the Boxer reference would be.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Amir Khan is from (Greater) Manchester, Bolton. Can't see how it fits though.0

It is W for the wheelers. Eddie Soens was a boxer and noticed that the cyclists were not fit, so started training them and getting involved with the club. I only have the accounts of this from a Clubmate and former Manchester Wheelers member. If anyone has any info on this, please post the link because it's difficult to find anything on the matter.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

OK, I was thinking CSC winning the Tour. Veni Vidi Vici - don't think this is likely but Vicenzo Nibali ?

What part of "...Roman reference is a decoy..." don't you understand?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Rik Van Looy?
Getting a little warmer. I still cannot believe you haven't got this one. Maybe you get some masochistic pleasure out of kicking yourself?

I think with 5 most of us probably thought of answering Merckx but the clue doesn't really tie in with the answer specifically enough.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

I'll concede a little on that but how do you come up with a Merckx clue that isn't obvious?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
