two - This is the Grundig MTB World Cup event in Canmore, AB, 1998.  Pictured is 2011 Tour de France champion Cadel Evans.  It's very hard to find pics of Evans, or anybody really, from events this old.  I have an entire roll - though they're not that great to be honest.

one - I had always thought this was also Evans, but this guy is wearing a different jersey.  So, it's either Jean-Christophe Savignoni, or, Canadian Andreas Hestler.  I can't read the number plate, and can't tell from his face, so once I find the pictures (that I've conveniently packed away), I'll look for another of this mystery Cannondale rider.

three - This is Filip Meirhaeghe, who in 2004 was busted for doping and shockingly didn't deny it.  Instead, he admitted to it, and retired.  I have a hell of a lot more respect for him than I do most of the other cheaters that got caught.

    I'm 80. I wrench more than I ride and I like it that way.
