Add Rudy (Xavier) Mirander, Jamaican sprinter and kilo rider, a contemporary of Jerry Ashe. If I recall correctly, he was regularly in the top 16 in the sprints and the kilo's at the World Championships...

CR FOLK:

In addition to Boyer, another famous Confente rider was Jerry "the gentle giant" Ashe. One of my old cycling books (I'll have to dig it up) shows a picture of him racing on a Confente track bike.

Don't know if he won any races on that bike, but he certainly was no stranger to winning...
