I actually did the Crooked Roubaix ride last year and saw Alexi Grewal on the ride and was completely surprised at what he looked like.

He was missing three front teeth.....

That and what he was wearing on the ride. He had a wool flannel shirt on and some hiking boots and a hard hat construction hat....

That guy is surely missing a few screws as well

Probably gonna get a bunch o crap for this one, but let's face it: Joao's a "never was" compared to the other two. Made for some good reading however.

You did forget one other guy though.....

U have to consider that he has been on the top of the tops, so for him many guys are just other racers that won't get even near to what he was before EVER. Doubt he cares that much of other racers. So that is an advantage for him, now at 50 looks pretty crazy but remember he was one of the super cyclists back in the day so for sure he still kicks pretty strong.

Crazy tho :D Lot of work to get there again.
