Happy Birthday - Women
Mon Oct 4 08:08:20 2004 2004 (EDT in North America)

Coincidences:

A reversal of the usual situation where there are Men with birthdays but no
Women, today we have no men who meet the criteria for a ``Hapy Birthday'' but
there are three women, and furthermore, they all have the same UCI points
and so are ranked equally.

Christina Peick-Andersen (1974) Denmark - 30 today

Emma Davies (1978) Great Britain - 26 today

Francesca Castrucci (1975) Italy - 29 today

All UCI Ranked 205th.

Happy Birthday - Men
Mon Oct 3 04:36:57 2004 (EDT in North America)

Sorry, None Today
But here are the critera for inclusion in ``Happy Birthday''

WOMEN

Data on Women is difficult to acquire with any degree of consistency or
comparability. Ergo no palmares are usually included.

To rate a ``Buon Compleanno'' from SixDay, Women must be in the top 100 UCI
ranked riders.

If additional data is to hand it may be included parenthetically.


MEN

The criteria for acknowledgement in the ``Happy Birthday'' list is a showing,
but not necessarily a General Classification win, or a stage win or a Special
Jersey in:
