Interesting Facts
Gusev is as good with languages as he is in cycling, as he speaks five (Russian, English, Italian, French and German). He has been a professional since 2004, spending two years each at power house teams, Team CSC and Discovery Channel, before moving to Astana in 2008. At the 2006 Paris-Roubaix, Gusev finished fourth but was later one of three riders disqualified for riding though closed train crossing. He has won the Russian National Time Trial Championship multiple times throughout his career.
