    6 is defintely riding a trek. Got to be contador surely?

    6 is defo Contador. That's his special bike. Plus he's in Yellow.

    Don't think 2 is Armstrong. I don't think he's ever ridden a standard Trek (with Astana colours) TT bike. He's always had one painted up special. (And as mentioned in last post - 6 is Bertie.

  • what's up with those veins?

    you're not really telling them from the legs though are you, it's the parts of the bike and the shorts you can see

    Just varicose veins. An hereditary condition primarily.

    2 - Kloden (?)
    3 - Hincapie
    6 - Contador
    11 - Ullrich
    13 - Pelizotti
    14 - Cancellara

    Spot on!

    How many did I get right then?

    F Schleck was a guess since I knew he wore yellow at some point, and I thought Contador was a lot more tanned!

    Could we have a thread about identifying riders purely from a photo of their chamois/crotches?


    Pretty please.
