Bloody hell that is hardcore! I like Levi as he is unassuming - I just wish he had a nicer position on the bike.

    :?: What do you mean? His time trial position/form is perfect; a thing of beauty to behold.

    Plenty of riders train in the snow, it often happens when you recce a mountain top.

    What you don't see is that the photographer is standing outside a campervan where hot chocolate, dry clothes and air conditioning await the rider :wink:

    It would have been if he'd have ridden down the other side!!

    Total matter of opinion - I think it is quite possibly the worst position I have ever seen (purely on an aesthetic basis).

    I agree, it looks awful.

    Cycling myth #354: Andy Hampsten didn't win the Gavia stage of the 1988 Giro, Erik Breukink did (Hampsten was second). He also wasn't first to the top of the Gavia that day, Johan van der Velde was. He did go on to win the Giro overall, of course.

    I'm not trying to take away from his achievement, which was very impressive. Just setting the record straight for the sake of any Dutch readers out there :wink:

    Weird. I look at those pics and think Levi looks much better.
