I'll give it a shot, but if I don't return to this forum and you read a newspaper headline from Belgium titling "Local idiots storm castle with Pitchforks, get drunk and impale themselves" you know what happened.

At least they've now swapped to soft toy ducks,not those massive plastic ones.
There's a classification in cyclocross sponsored by a Bathroom-superchain. The podium gets a duck each time. I really would like to know what Iserbyt or Van Der Haar do with all their ducks. I mean they must have twenty by now and as you can see they're not really practical.
In the past there also have been quite a few weird prices. Hansgrohe used to sponsor a classification and gave the winner a shower. I think MVDP has about twenty. And another cyclocross used to give the winner a Vespa each year. I believe WVA got about five of them.

If you win the Etoile de Besseges, you get a nice star-shaped trophy - okay, that part makes sense; "etoile" means "star" - with... a picture of someone else on it...

If that star works like the one in Mario Kart, he is going to be unstoppable this spring!

When I saw that this thread had been bumed this morning, I thought "Oh good, someone else has spotted the chanco hornado from theEcuatorian championships.

Not as cute as the one at Tro-Bro Leon, is it?

I'm sure the Tro-Bro-Leon is delicious too. Once it's been prepared.
You can ask Pichon about it.

Can anyone explain why Cancellara got a giant light bulb back in the 2014 Ronde?
Maybe he used an OSRAM gear set.

Carrying a recently bisected pig onto the podium would not be instagram friendly: the photo is a better idea.

You know that game when you put a hoop on your head and you and your mates need to throw balls in it and the dude with the most balls in his hoop loses?

So, Vingegaard didn't just get a weird hat.
He also got an axe to add to his trident:

Sometimes the ritual humiliation of the winner is not the prize on the podium, but the minimalism of the podium itself.
