It's not too late for your to submit messages of support, photos and tales of encounters for the Birthday Book Project for Chechu. You can follow the development of the book over the next few weeks on Chechu's Fan Facebook page.
For more information, go to Fan Projects.

Photos of Chechu with Kelme are fairly scarce, so it's wonderful to add this one to the collection. Thanks to Arturo Sintes Lluch. If you know about the photo - race, year, climb - we'd love to know.
Jesús Rodrigo, director of Gijón cycling school, Escuela de Ciclismo de las Mestas and José-Enrique Cima, ex-cyclist and respected cycling journalist in Asturias, have known Chechu throughout his career. We talked to them - dare I say it - at the end of Chechu's first final year. It's worth another read.
Last July, our friend Bruno Lopez Vizcon ascended the legendary Mont Ventoux like a pro, returning next day - as a fan - to cheer on Alberto Contador and his team.

Chechu talks to Velonation about life as a veteran in the peloton in 2010.
On the bike sometimes you don't have a brain, you just have legs and power, and if the power is gone in a few k's, the rest of the stage can be a nightmare.

Contador, Rubiera and Hernandez line-up for the TTT
The first Criterium Ciudad de Oviedo was held in November and paid tribute to Samuel Sanchez, Olympic champion and local hero. Samuel won overall, but Astana's team of Contador, Rubiera and Hernandez took the TTT prize. A win at home! And an emotional moment for Chechu.
