Today (22 April) marked the seventh anniversary of the death of Italian cyclist, Michele Scarponi. His greatest success, at the 2011 Giro d'Italia, came as a result of another rider's results being expunged eight months after the conclusion of the race. His career was not without its problems, with two separate doping suspensions. The article has been a GA since 2022 and went through GOCE last year; WP:CYCLING currently has only two biographical FAs – Tom Simpson and Bernard Hinault – so if this article was to be promoted to the highest level, it would be in rarified company. Admittedly, I am a first-time nominator at FAC, so looking forward to going through the process. Craig(talk) 22:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
