My favourite of the selection, Kreuziger and Mangel on the Tourmalet.

I guess I hadn't seen the Steephill pics yet. God, that one's fantastic.

Well thanks

Sure, hope you take that in the spirit I intended it. I think I got that off of Frank's Twitter. Thought it was pretty funny, and also kinda cool.

When was the last time we saw faces like this in the Tour?

And when was the last time we saw a Tour contender like this from France - or from anywhere?

The many tongues of Tommy Voeckler

Taking the race to the riders

I think all the above are from the Colnago site.

That compliation of Voeckler pictures is hilarious.
I think my favorite, though, is Contador punching that guy in the face. That one is priceless right there.

So does anyone know what the hell was wrong with Hincapies leg, or is that just normal?

It's varicose veins, typically a genetic condition, nothing to do with cycling.

You see them all the time, all over the place.

If you want to see them all you have to do is drop stereotypes, slogans and preconceptions.

Wow! I never knew he had that. That can be painful. Big George is a tough kid.
