It's Sven Nys and Richard Groenendaal.

Groenendaal was disappointed as he was spotted using his middle finger while crossing the finish line. "We are the mice and Nys is the cat. Everybody saw it once again, Nys is the strongest around," Groenendaal said dryly. "Nys likes this game and I'm playing along. Of course he's allowed to come back on us as we're all fighting each other. There should be another competition for him, but I'm afraid that he'll race with the 125cc motor bikes then."

That picture is truly a classic.

It's Sven Nys and Richard Groenendaal.

I don't remember the exact race but I believe Nys had been left back with mechanical problems. He caught the lead group as they were dICking around before the finish and went straight through.

Both Rabobank wearing riders. So much for team work.

The standard is a little different in cross, it's more of an individuall effort. Although flipping-off a teammate is still frowned upon.

OK I have no idea who my avatar is. Any one out there know?
It's too old to be John Howard and his LSR bike. The chainring looks about right for 156mph though
