    I can't vouch for the rest, but I am beyond terrible at crossword style quiz/questions/riddles.

    I find them impenetrable.

    That is correct. Why is it that the Pro Race lot never seem to entertain my Christmas quiz?

    I thought perhaps he thought that was the anagram to be solved. Now i'm confused.

    Well spotted.

    13. First name of very successful Italian means feet and hands were secure or comfortable retrospectively.

    Funny how no one has got this. Not sure quite how to provide a clue... let's see.

    Quite lateral cryptic clue where the answer has association with 13:

    Vintage Columbus has first missing 'r'.

    :D

    Not sure where you're going with that one.

    Out of curiosity, how long have you been cycling orraloon?

    Not arti.

    This question goes way back to the legacy left by a famous Italian, pre WW2.

    Been cycling a while, but while I may be knocking on, pre WW2 knowledge is before my time :)

    I feel wikipedia calling again...

    Before my time too but if I mentioned Fausto Coppi or Gino Bartali, you would know who they were despite being before your time.

    You've sussed my thinking for quite a few so have a look at the original question again - it's all there and you'll kick yourself when you get it.

    Yay. Are you kicking yourself? Can I have a pic?
