Trek Factory's neo pros "baptism" (aka hazing?)

BZiMFIUIIAA5NUw.jpg:large


Not 100% sure on all the new faces yet. But I think it is (from left to right):

Riccardo Zoidl, Fabio Silvestre, Eugenio Alafaci, Calvin Watson and Jasper Stuyven. /edit: confirmation through official twitter feed

Arredondo not in the picture... maybe not considered a neo pro

to be honest, in an environment so full of anorexia, sometimes it's refreshing to see a rider like cav


this comment made me laugh, the riders are scary thin id be sick all time if my weight was that low most the year.

Man. While Froome and the likes go closer and closer to looking like concentration camp survivors, Cav is going in the opposite direction. Lovely.

Catoonist pranks Tom Boonen

So Boonen has got this Ferrari F430

On the Spa-Francorchamps race circuit he often meets Jeroom, a Belgian cartoonist, famous for cartoons as:

Anyway, this cartoonist offered Boonen to "pimp his ride", since the grey paintjob was plain boring. Boonen agreed (with the condition that somehow this would be profitable for a Good Cause)

I hope this good cause indeed gets a lot of money for this, since this is the result:

No picture unfortunately....

Cannondale trolling the peloton at P-N :D

"The team ran really well and with the Italians we were always going to have a laugh - one example was on stage 3... there was a break of 5 guys up the road, with team Giant Shimano chasing and 100km to go the finish. They all stopped chasing on the front for some reason and there was a few minutes where we just rolled along and a few of our boys just rolled slightly off the front having a chat - when they looked back they had a bit of a gap and just took off. There was some panic from the Giant Shimano team who got back on the front and rode full gas to shut the move down. After 5 fast minutes they still couldn't see them up the road...it was only when a Europcar rider came up and told them that the two Cannondale boys had actually hidden behind a bush 3kms back down the road and that Giant Shimano were chasing ghosts."
