You shouldn't do drugs either...
Is that a British thing?

He does look a bit British (if that is possible). Question is if he indeed lacks hair in his, ehm, cycling shorts area.

[lemon cheese cake]

I nominate Nils Wolfenbuttel.

Deg is the Welsh word for ten. Therefore John Degenkolb or Alvaro Hodeg
