No? Look at the audience again.

Nice... I guess the kid loves his cycling

For some reason inserting pictures won't work for me. I click on "insert images", enter the URL, click OK, and it never shows up in the post. What am I doing wrong?

I hope we see that guy there through the ages.

I am having the same problem - suggestions would be good, thanks

Might be an unusual file format that the forum software can't render maybe?

My best guess. Don't know a lot about this stuff.

No? Look at the audience again.

At least two different editions of the race.

Hint: Cervelo and Specialized.

 

[tgsgirl]

Four different editions.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah... and the CSC on Spartacus' jersey... and the fact that he's not wearing the Swiss championship jersey... (why didn't I notice?)
Go to the Muur... that guy will still be standing there!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Kid needs a new coat. Every year, same outfit? If you're going to do that you have to make yourself a novelty to get noticed, like American moose-horn idiot or the Devil.

Thanks, I'll try that next time

 

[Kimono]

Anyone else who thinks the kid looks like Rusty from the first National Lampoons "Vacation" movie?

 

[jaylew]

Yep - Anthony Michael Hall. 16 Candles, Breakfast Club...

Definitely.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Kid is going crazy every time at the same bloody place

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

You have to wonder if the riders appreciate having their ear drums blown out like that.

 

[RedheadDane]

You know the "funny" thing about FC's jersey is that part of me was saying: "there's something wrong... it should be redder, he's the Swiss champion!" While another part went "Naah! Just the cross..." Yeah... somehow I managed to move the cross from the Swiss flag onto the side... (and completely did not notice the CSC written on it...)

Actually - thats what I really like about this 'fan'.

He is not there standing to get noticed, he is standing there because he knows it is part of something special.

I wonder what time he has to be there at to get that spot? (And how drunk he must be)

You have to wonder if the riders appreciate having their ear drums blown out like that.

Yes they do..............the goosebumps they get from riding up there through a wall of noise stays with them forever.

 

[Jeriko]

You have to wonder if the riders appreciate having their ear drums blown out like that.

Does anyone know the general view of the peloton regarding those fans who like to run alongside and scream and so on? Any cyclists famously outspoken on their disapproval? I couldn't imagine enduring the effort and stress of a tough climb while some clown prances about and gets in my face.

EDIT: What was the incident in Eurosport's Giro d'Italia advertisement with the rider swinging his arm back at a fan?

 

[Potomac]

Drunks lining road. Spooky.

 

[Race Radio]

It seem he might need more fiber in his diet, then maybe he would not need to strain so much.

I haven't seen that advertisement but it reminds me of Contador on Verbier in the TdF last year, after he had attacked

As for that guy, i've got one word for him: Committed! In the dictionary under the word commitment or committed there should be a picture of this guy.
