A grateful thank you

Nicky Orr writes, I've just written a cheque - the first of many, I hope - to BRAVEHEART CYCLING FUND for £98.

This is the profit to date from T-shirt and poster sales.

I know this isn't a lot of money in the grand scheme. I am really pleased though, and grateful to everyone who has bought a momento.

We've sold 41 Tees so far, unbelievable! And how wonderful to see them in action in Georgia. Chechu magnets indeed.

Our aim is always to support Chechu. I know that he has responded really well to the fans in Georgia, who have flown the Asturian flag, or worn a T-shirt. He told me last night he's enjoyed seeing the flag, and he rewards each fan with his time, and often a kiss or two! He is Spanish, after all.

We are grateful to all our friends, who have travelled many miles in support of Chechu in his final US race. There are many such fans all over the world, and I know that we will all continue to support Chechu as he races in this final season.

Brand Rubiera

As I write this, I realise that the website is now two years old. In terms of Chechu's career, we are such newcomers. Loyal fans have stood at the roadside, mostly in Europe, cheering him on since his amateur days with Banesto.

CHECHURUBIERA.INFO has widened this fan-base, providing a gathering place for a huge fan community across the world. I like to think that our visitors trust us, they know that we tell Chechu's story simply and with integrity. Because that's what Chechu inspires. As we've got to know him, we understand that he is a man of integrity above all else.

Chechu is contemplating his future after cycling. If he chooses to start again in engineering in an existing company, we wish him success. Of course. But what a waste.

Chechu Rubiera is a quality brand, and for a while yet, it has real value. Chechu and his amazing family should profit from it. Perhaps by creating his own engineering company, or by allowing him to choose the very best job in cycling where his reputation is second to none.
