just cracks me up a little... Matt Lloyd looks like he's thinking "What the hell are they doing?"

He's asking: "What's this Spaniard doing here?"

Ah, he's just amazed how many different jerseys Evans has brought to the Giro

He looked shellshocked during the podium ceremony, probably just overwhelmed

Could be...

Yeah... it is quite the Australian meeting...

Maybe Evans and Porte are just playing cool that they are in the GC while Lloyd isn't...

He is green with envy! Ahahaha!

Don't really get how the mechanic was able to follow Pinotti up the chronoscalato. He must be pretty good on the bike himself.

It was only the last K
But he has some decent calves, so I would say he has done his time (often ex-pro's or "nearly pro's")

Good to see he is wearing his helmet, other wise you can be disqualified by the UCI Commissionaires

It's his first ever win as a pro, so I think he can be excused

Don't know how classic this is, but it always makes me laugh

I love how the Helmuth Kohl look-a-like presents the Navigare jersey to a shocked Paride Grillo, Emanuele Sella, who tries hard to smile politely and Julio Alberto Perez who's obviously not impressed (or just don't give a damn).

Grillo looks like he has just woken up, or put a a fork into an electrical socket.

 

[Papparrazzi]

That is a frightening photo, reminds me of The Adams Family

In Spain, if somebody is fat, you call them 'El Gordo' (or so I believe), what would call them in Italian?

It would be "il grasso" but there can be many other words depeding on the region.

 

[jens_attacks]

Grillo is from Varese.

These 'ere guys found themselves a new style!

I do hope the actual road is... err... less... lopsided (for lack of better words)
I found a vid with that once... it's... just crazy! Completely even road and them SWOOOM! (guess that just shows how slippery those cobblestones become...)

Just wait, Wigans will have Grillo's hairdo next winter.

THE cycling picture:

Just notice the barends on Bartali's rig. Not common, I'd guess because the much longer cable travel, with more and sharper bends, would tend to make shifting sloppier and less reliable on the friction setups of the era.

This was along the final downhill turn before the finish in the Auburn Crit two weeks ago. 5 laps to go. I was leading the group through the corner, while Chad Gerlach was away solo. My front wheel found a little hole to sink into and my bike shot out from underneath me. My computer says we were going around 30-35mph.

I scraped up my arm, needed a stitch to hold it shut and I put a huge hole in my hip. I got up and finished for 15th. And I didn't break my bike.

Mike Magraf, the Safeway rider in the photo (who can apparently levitate his bike) crashed with me. He broke his sternum on the curb.
