Lose the hatdude.

But at least he smiled, unlike the rest of them.

    You can take Danielson out of America, but you can't take the American out of Danielson!

    Ha ha, he does as well. I was trying to put my finger on who he looks like - I had some American actor in mind, but can't think of his name. He looks a wee bit like a thin-in-the-face Matt Damon as well.

    And I'm not sure why Van de Velde looks so happy with himself - maybe he can't see that the barnet hanging out the back of his cap makes him look like Miguel Angel Jimenez.

    I'll take a backwards cap before a Pozzato hairdo any time.

    My god, you're right, they do look like a pair of goons! However, the cap backwards is cool if you're young like me - don't dismiss it!

    Pozzato should be forcabley sheered and his hair should be turned into clothes for all the needy in the third world. Some numpty added him to that 'most stylish rider' thread a couple of weeks back. He might have a smooth pedal stroke (I haven't noticed), but he CANNOT be cool or stylish with hair like that.

    Peace out man, where's my cap...

    That numpty was me, I believe. I classify pedal stroke and hair style in different categories, as you see.

    He instantly made me think of Randall from Clerks 2:

    Also Matthew Lillard from Serial Mom:

    I find it quite strange that such an ordinary rider has attracted so much attention. Frankly, he is no better than Matty Hayman or Aaaron Kemps.

    I guess they've taken a minute off Tyler's record for the Mount Washington climb as well then...

    Or won a mountain stage in the Vuelta.

    He's considerably better than Matty or Aaron. Sorry.

    Mount Washington is subject to a lot of wind, like Mont Ventoux. As for winning a mountain stage in the Vuelta, that's very good. But there is a gap between the hype attached to him and his palmares.

    Let me guess, the Col de La Madone is subject to a lot of wind as well? Sometimes I think this forum is subject to a lot of wind, often of the warm variety.

    No but you can be the fastest guy in training but that's worth little. Like I say, a talented rider but he suffers from being touted as "the next Lance". Arguably he's very similar to Jon Vaughters, hand on the hills, capable of winning the Dauphiné but a small palmares.
