Rebellin: I let the pleasures in life guide me, not my age
(Cyclingnews.com)

Davide Rebellin has suggested he could race until his fifties, insisting age is not a problem as he prepares for his 25th season as a professional rider. The 46-year-old Italian signed with the Belgian Natura4Ever-Sovac Continental team this week. He turned professional after the 1992 Barcelona Olympics but has no plans to retire. `I live year to year, day to day. I haven´t set myself any limits and finish lines. If I struggled to finish races or wasn´t good enough, I´d stop. That´s not the case for now,` Rebellin told La Gazzetta dello Sport.ADVERTISEMENT `Celebrate my 50th birthday in the peloton? I don´t know if it´ll happen, it`s not a goal but why not? It´s possible.` `I´m not interested in setting any age records. Numbers bore me. When people ask me my age I sometimes have to think for a few seconds. I let the pleasures in life guide me, not my age.` Rebellin claimed his greatest success in 2004, when he won Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège in the same week, although he failed to earn selection for the Italian team for that year´s Athens Olympics, and failed in his bid to ride for Argentina at the subsequent World Championships in Verona.
