Classic Racing Pics

I've seen Sammy Sanchez bunny hop over riders who have crashed right in front of him, but I've never seen that before. Showboating at it's finest.

Cav.. nice move. Looks like he got his mojo back!

Found an amazing photo of AC made after his ride with fans in Almaty:

Spotted this one again of Ricco after his recent crash, republished in a new CN story.

For me, it's classic as in "comedy classic". I don't wish bad crashes on anyone, even Ricco, but having to stand atop the GC podium the following day is just crushing.

How do you describe that look? Somewhere between a mobster just arrested and a retired Floridian just out of the hair salon. Love it.

Oh, that's priceless! "Pimpin' ain't easy, but it's necessary". The champagne bottle, the blondes, the glasses, the nose, hair... I would not be surprised to see Ricco turn up in a fur coat sometimes soon.

possible repost.

Only just come across this thread: this could become my desktop background.

But your patience please with a relative newcomer to an appreciation of the sport season-round: who, what race, and what year (and why are there what appear to be huge brass buttons on the front of his jersey?)

Sven Nys in a cyclo-cross race is my guess. Where though? I have NFI.

 

[Merckx]

Think it's Sven Nys. 2008, Koppenberg cross race?

 

[Badeend]

Think it's Sven Nys. 2008, Koppenberg cross race?

Exactly, when he was celebrating he realised he had broken a finger during the race . Monday again Koppenberg! Probably less dirty

It's interesting in the new Pro Cycling 228 page special of Tim de Weale's work from this year, has photos from both the Giro and the Tour of California. Either Tim's employed some off-siders, or he has mastered the ability to be on two different continents at once.

Now that's a Skinny guy:

What's with the funny spots on his white T-shirt?[/QUOTE]

How could a human being be that white? Does he have no blood in his body? He is absolutely hideous.

I love his work. I've seen a lot of it around. He also doesn't call former Pro's "fools"!

I don't know much about it him.

Nice pics, the ones they showed with the article. I'm in one of them too.

Except that he would do it year in, year out. Always bad luck. Lance never had bad luck like that. George always to be the servant. Dopey f-ck he is. Less time to sunglasses selection and more time to choosing the correct wheelset.

Aren't you being a bit harsh? Hincapie made the podium of Roubaix along with finishing in the top ten multiple times of both Roubaix and Flanders. Maybe he lacks the tactical sense, confidence and natural aggression to take the next step but I think he's represented himself well in his career.

It's ever worth to take a look at his pics during the races cause he really can catch some special shots.

 

[Angliru]

Great pic! One of my favorites.

He has lack of it. I have the same problem (although I don't use dynepo). White -> get burned -> turn white again. No pigment.

It's like those English guys on holiday in Spain. They are white, get burned horribly (red), and then...turn white again. They never turn brown

Great work Krebs, with Federico Ezquerra being my favourite. It must of been hell riding the Alps on those bikes back then/

The wife of the Dutch cyclist Wim van Est listening to the radio, curious about the performances of her husband. The Netherlands, Breda. Tour de France 1960.

The finish of the first Tour. At the right: the first winner, Maurice Garin. At the left: probably Leon Georget (not sure). Tour de France 1903.
