Biography

“Cacaito” Rodríguez was a top climber in the pro peleton after he competed in the 1992 Olympics. He rode several times in the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, his best finish in the grand tours being sixth at the 1994 Giro. That year he was fourth in the climbing category at the Giro, and placed second in the climbing competition at the 1995 Giro. As a climber, he had no palmares as a professional, due to his lack of sprinting ability.
