Interesting Facts

Pagliarini started his career as a pro in 2001 and is now considered the best rider in the history of Brazilian cycling. He's always been an excellent sprinter and has truly shown his abilities after two pro seasons. He has had some physical problems since joining Saunier Duval-Prodir, but made a comeback late 2007 when he took one stage in the Eneco Tour and one stage in the Tour of Missouri.
