Which pro cyclist has that full back tatoo?

I have the feeling it's an italian. I remember seeing it on TV a few years back, can't remember who it was though.

Any help appreciated.

Filippo Pozzato perhaps?

We have a winner. I searched Ballan, Cunego, Nibali, Basso and Petacchi. Forgot all about Pippo!

Thanks.

Probably Pozzato, but it could be Michael Matthews:

Hondo - think it's a German eagle. Remember seeing ages ago when he beat Cipo in a sprint in the Giro and the TV 'went behind the scenes' during the 'wash and brush up'.

Its Pozzato.... how could anybody forget those horrible Sidi ads from last year when Pozzato was trying to do his shoes in the nip... there are still some fellow posters from here going through therapy ... and will be for many years!

better a naked pippo than basso cooking

Tusher

I paraphrase Twisted Spoke- "Only God Can Judge Me" + a few hundred Italian journalists, half the tifosi and the Russian mafia.

Couldn't the tatooist do faces? And what's going on with those moobs?

And why is there a giant onion ring over his head too?

I like the fact that the date acknowledges the passing of the great England Test batsman - Len Hutton. Classy indeed.

Just had a quick look back at the 2004 Hamburg cyclassics; there is a short sequence showing Gerolsteiner's Danilo Hondo riding along with his top off, displaying a tattoo across his back between his shoulder blades - not as big as Pippo's though.

Thanks hommelbier. I Googled images but couldn't find it. Glad you could back me up!
