If you have been following the Giro, you already know that Cadel Evans lost the pink jersey yesterday following Rigoberto Uran's dominant victory in the time trail. You may already know some of Uran's back story. His father was abducted on a training ride and killed by a Colombian paramilitary group. Young Rigoberto sold lottery tickets to support the family. If you are unfamiliar with his story, you should read this article from today's VeloNews.com:
VeloNews ran a much longer version of the Uran biography about a year ago. If you are interested, you can probably locate that with some searching.
