Stock photos suck. A photo presented with an article or race report is a wealth of information about a rider's effort, equipment and the course.
When I see this with the race report for stage 21 of the 2010 Giro:
I would think that's Gustav Larsson riding in the Giro D'Italia. Except it's not. It's from the 2009 Tour de France!
This picture supposedly shows Zabriskie during Stage 5 of last year's Tour of Missouri:
Except this picture supposedly also is Zabriskie in the same stage. I guess he had a uniform change 1/2 way through.
If CN is going to throw up old pictures, please clarify when the photo is from. It is misleading at best, sloppy or lazy at worst when a photo is presented as being from a specific event, though it is not.
