Is getting spectacular. Have a look at his website. www.davezabriskie.com

Everyone should experiment with facial hair once in their life, especially men. However, I'd like to know the kind of drag coefficient that 'tash generates? Would it be faster if it was waxed? Could make all the difference in the sprints...

    He's a clever guy and knows that manipulating his public image brings publicity to him and his team.

    Cipollini was the same, he knew he could earn more money thanks to his natual looks, hair styling and a few quick quotes. For sure, he's more than a regular guy but he worked hard to exaggerate his public image.

    I doubt it's that calculated. Dave Z doesn't seem to be that comfortable with having a "public image". Yeah he does funny podcasts and has a wacky moustache, but have you ever heard him speaking to an interviewer? It's pretty painful to listen to. The 'tache is probably just a joke between him and Cozza.

    He's bringing his own brand of saddle cream to market and I think you can buy Z-man clothing. He has his own website. If he's not winning, this is a way to attract attention. OK, it's not some marketing push but he's working on this image. He's much more a regular guy than his wacko image sometimes suggests.

    I love when we start making characterizations about people we don't know.

    Still, his 'stache is more aero than Cozza's, which is absolutely sublime, by the way.
