Criteria for a ``Happy Birthday'' Men. Women

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 Davey, Women must be in the top 100 UCI
ranked riders.

If Davey has some additional data to hand it may be included parenthetically.

What does "Fole Morti" mean?

Literally fogli morte means ``Dead Leaves'' or more liberally ``Falling leaves''

The Tour of Lombardy is run in October, at the tail end of the seasion when
the leaves are falling
