    Fabian Cancellera ?

    Was dropping riders for fun last year, blew away everyone with his power at the Olympics, think he did some of the spring classics, still has some power as he snapped a chain at one, but sight or sound hasn't been seen since they olympics last year ?

    Pro Cycling did a piece in search of Abdoujaparov a while back. It seems that he's living in Italy and wants to stay out of the public eye.

    Indeed, I thought the same thing when the news came out. Been trying to figure out if anyone in the past ten years had a good season in the rainbow and Boonen is the only one who strikes me.
