CABLINHO À CAYN?

Here’s a question for you; “How many British riders have won a three-week continental stage race?” Here’s a clue: the answer isn’t “none”. In 1988, a 23 year-old from Worcester who never had a day’s coaching in his life, fought and won in one of the toughest arenas in Europe to claim the 19-stage Volta a Portugal, overcoming crashes, mountains, horrendous roads and even combines within his own team to record a win which is remembered in Portugal to this day.



During our interview Cayn commented that despite a six-year professional career, many race wins, 18 Yellow Jerseys and being the only British rider to win a three-week Professional Tour this was the first time anyone in England had asked him to give an interview.
