Classic Racing Pics

The Schlecks, probably for that reason

That's because they are idiots.

Okay... I dunno if this is actually classic but came across this when looking through old pics.

This actually made me smile a little. Though I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't recognize Wouter at first...

Looking at the top of that picture I was a little "What's going on there?"
Then I scrolled down to the bottom...

I really liked this one but I did not like the color becauseit was not 'balanced' well for my family room walls, I just re-did it in ps, the distress is intentional and shouldn't look quite so harsh when printed, the png link is below I also have the native ps file uploaded if anyone wants it.

Vuelta a Colombia

Love that guy with the shovel on the first pic.
Like "Holy ****! The race is today? We better go fix that road..."

Love the expression on Hinault's face. Almost as if he's thinking "you're attacking, AGAIN??"

Huge crowds pack the stadium in Frankfurt an der Oder, 1960:

The Steile Wand in 1961:

Slightly off topic I know, but who'd have come out on top in a punch up Kelly or Hinault?

1989 World Championship Road Race. Lemond, Konyshev and Kelly.

 

[RedheadDane]

Haven't got some pictures of the crash? One of the frequent clips in any Cycling Crashes videos.

Someone may have already posted this. But still...

Gotta love the face-palming FDJ guy!

That's Brad McGee, who pulled the wheel-sucking Vino all the way to the finish. Vino gets all the credit for this win, but it was really McGee who held off the peloton. McGee should have just sat up when Vino wouldn't take a pull.

Couldn't resist But really, a picture that doesn't make you want to claw your eyes out:

Sorry its so big :/

 

[Arnout]

Merckx? Well, actually I never want to claw my eyes out as they are very valuable, but Merckx isn't making me feel much better compared to Armstrong.

 

[Parrulo]

ok seriously? frame shifters for the chain rings in 2001?

Yeah. and vino probably didn't try to brake all afternoon in all the earlier loops on your screen? Everyone watched him pull and pull and pull to stay away to win one spot in the GC. Come on, a GC top 10 rider (podium in 2003 if im right) breaking away on the Champs Elyssees. You must really hate the guy if you critisise the bravest attacker of all...

Not unusual for the riders who were attentive to detail and weight. Notice that it's only for the front derailleur.
