I stumbled over this pic in the CN coverage of the Air Force Cycling Classic:

"So, which one of us won this time?"

I would assume those two photos are from the Tour of San Luis?

This can't be a road race. It looks like the route is going straight through a river!

This can't be a road race either... on the other hand, judging by the age. They were nutters back then!

No, that's a cyclocross race.

That can't be healthy. Can it?

He has had that for a long time. It looks worse now.

Is that a vein? Jesus christ. If I had that on my calf I'd burn it off.

i have been talking to my sister who is a veterinarian and is studying medicine atm and she says that he prolly has that because the muscle on his leg is so developed that pushed his veins closer to the skin and since those veins need to move much more blood then a normal person due to cycling they become much large then they should be.

its almost Varicose veins like some1 said on another thread but not really like Varicose veins.

Ok that's outrageous.

 

[Ratatosk]

Any idea who won, by any chance?

Winner is Kevin de Weert. Him and Wim de Vocht owned just about all the races in and around Antwerp at that time.

The other young'n isn't Vandenbroeck, by the way. It's Kevin Vanspeybroeck.

...bad, m'kay?

I have a similar issue in my leg. It is def varicose. I sent Hincapie's people an email asking for advice. They say he wears compression tights always when he is not on the bike.
