I think/believe that Amir is Jay McCarthy although it's hard to tell

Netserk said:lol, totally missed your joke
The Hitch said:From what I understand its an unPC joke about how the way the rider has covered up his face is not too dissimilar to how people in the Middle East might.
Amir being a stereotypical Middle Eastern name.
Not really sure what he means about the bomb though.

LaFlorecita said:Could be, it could also be Matti though because he is standing next to Jesus and Benja I thought it might be Alberto, also has the same build.

sacrifice&hardwork said:Fair enough and like you said "it could be Alberto" but I went with Jay M. because he's clearly short (which the guy on the picture is) and the little bit of skin that is shown is light (white) - I don't think Alberto is that short to the other riders and he's definitely more darker skin But again is hard to tell from the picture
LaFlorecita said:that is a good point

Contador’s Fuente Dé attack: History repeating itself
In 2002, the second of Contador’s two years in the amateur peloton, during the prestigious Circuito Montañes stage race, he staged an attack at exactly the same spot, 3 kilometres from the summit of the second category climb where he attacked in the Vuelta this year.
“It was a very similar stage to the one in the Vuelta this year,” Contador’s director in his amateur years, Juan Gonzalez, told MARCA, “but perhaps even harder.”
Contador went away alone, was caught by Javier Ramirez Abeja, now racing with the Andalucia team, and by another rider shortly after the town of Potes at the foot of the Fuente Dé climb.
“I told him to attack again on a ramp called Los Llanos, and Alberto went away again, but was caught 500 metres from the line.”
“Wednesday’s stage was a carbon copy of that stage, with the difference that this time round it worked.”
Gonzalez recalls Contador as being “unpredictable, he would attack anywhere and everywhere and you didn’t need to push him to make a move. And you couldn’t stop him either because once he’d attacked it was better to leave him in peace!”
“He was the best climber of his generation “Gonzalez recalled “but despite his weight he was able to finish a close second in time trials like the Graniitier Breton prologue and the hillclimb in the Circuito Montañes” as well as winning the amateur Spanish time trials.

Alberto and Jesus
Yeah.xrayvision said:And this is the difference between Andy and Alberto.
serfla said:Yeah.
Poor ol' Berto is freezing, while Andy is chilling in sweet Mallorca sun.
Some labor all their life, and some enjoy.
Dukes and serfs.
