The lead Sports Manager for the team is Matxin. His real name is Joxean Fernandez, but everyone calls him Matxin - pronounced "Ma Cheen". Maxtin is the man. He is often seen driving a car behind all the lead riders coaching them on, and keeping their spritis high. Matxin was driving the car on the TT stage when David Millar blew out the 2 wheels. I was sitting next to him during all the chaos, but he kept his cool. He's a super pro. Congrats Matxin on a great tour. By the way, Matxin is one of those guys that can quadruplemultitask while driving. That means he can talk on a radio with one hand, on a cell phone with the other, watch the in car tv, drive in mass traffic with motorcycles all around, shout directions at the rider, drink, eat, and downshift all at once....Oh yeah...he can drive real well too.
