The State of California deserves a freakshow hero like Vlad. I hope he dominates the ToC--perfect length and course profile for him most years.

He's cut his hair though..... I guess he was at all the races and people just didnt recognise him...

I hope he does well though, just because he's called karpets.. but I am not expecting big things from him.

No wonder I didn't recognise him. In any case might have to trawl through the giro threads for a best of puns. Look forward to them in the coming weeks as Karpets takes the floor.

Mullettless Karpets on the front.

Its like Karpets puns. There’s nothing new to be said about Fedrigos nose.

Shagged Karpets out.:eek:
Only 30kms to crawl.


Karpets got pulled out.
Was it during a stage? If so,
Karpets pulled up.

Roll Karpets up and blow into one end: Horner.

Absence of Karpets brings Katusha to the floor.

Karpets folded.

Karpets swept from contention

It was curtains for Karpets

I was already wondering if Karpets’ strength was in his hair...

Hair recycled for Karpets.;)

Vlad Karpets (people don’t like/rate him, but he’s got some good results)
Agreed, he’s always laying everything on the line. Ignored by every one as if he were beneath them.

Karpets will grow his mullet so long Katousha will start repairing their tyres from the off cuts.

Karpets and Menchov can’t ride a bike:D
To be fair to Karpets, he rolls better downhill.

Bottom of gazzetta page has Karpets laid out between Vino and MR group?

What kind of time did Karpets lay down?

Karpets didn’t really take off today.
Yeah, he’s really down there.
Must be all the dust.

The hard surface not causing problems with Karpets...


Karpets having no trouble rolling up the hill

I agree he is not the same 'force' and personality with out the rug.

Truth. He looks like JV now, minus a chin and a developing pair of jowls. (Having said that, I'm one of few forumites who likes JV's and Woggins's styles.)

On a side note, Every time I see the Katusha kit, it rises in my esteem. That really is one of the better ones in the peloton.

EDIT: Just noticed the Wiggins/Woggins typo and couldn't bring myself to correct it.
