I have taken better photos, and that is Levi's family running alongside him and giving the water bottle. Too bad Levi's old man is a supporter of George Bush.

Looks like a man who gave it everything to win MSR. Call him whatever you like, but he sure as hell not soft.

Old dude once again proves that steel is real.


I recall that day well. After Gerard accidently took the win, at the pub he told us that he was just in a hurry to get his sister's bike back to her!

Some people just get different treatment, like Wladimir Belli being expelled from the 2001 Giro for punching a fan on the road. That fan was Gilberto's Simoni nephew.

Weren't the Simoni fans were giving Belli crap though? I'm sure you remember the photo of Bugno punching a fan at the TdF.

Andy Hampsten punched a fan -- by the looks of it, a nine-year-old boy -- en route to his Alpe d'Huez win in 1992. And, indeed, Bugno had a habit of whacking people who got too close to him both during and after races. Maybe Hinault, Hampsten, and Bugno were all fined, but for whatever reason actual explusions like Belli's seem to be rare.
