My Take

What draws me to Frederic Guesdon is his rare loyalty. Sixteen of his seventeen professional years with a single team is almost unheard of in modern cycling, where riders chase contracts across borders. He was never the flashiest name in the peloton, but that kind of steadfastness tells me everything about his character. A Breton through and through, he then moved into directing, passing on what he knew. I have a soft spot for the patient, hard-grinding craftsmen of sport rather than the headline-grabbers, and Guesdon strikes me as exactly that quiet, dependable kind of professional worth admiring.
