On Jan. 26, a thread on ST: **Ivan Rana to race pro peleton. **
I checked and didn’t see any f/u. But, VeloNews reported the follwoing: “World Triathlon Champion, Ivan Rana, made his professional cycling debut at the Challenge de Mallorca on February 8. Rana (Xacubeo Galicia) crashed and dislocated his shoulder.” Ouch!
I bet that produced a number of comments from the roadies about triathletes and their riding skills! Was Xacubeo Galicia his team?
I’d imagine so - it was mentioned in 2 places in VeloNews, including the “HOT/NOT” column; and, of course, the headline “Triathlete’s Pro Road Debut” was a NOT. Oh well. And, yes - Xacubeo Galicia is a Spanish pro cycling team.
