    Contador said something along the lines of never riding the Giro again, he is concentrating fully on the tour from now on, and he may ride the vuelta in 2012.

    I very much doubt he will be riding any GT in 2012.

    I tend to think he will be.

    Same. Even if they give him a ban I think it will be backdated so he will be free to compete in 2012

    But that would only apply if he had been stopped from racing for 1 or two years already and that hasn't happened so even if he was banned backdating would not make any sense.

    The in's and out's don't really matter, one way or another, Bertie will walk.

    Got to love it when professional sportsmen dress up. Cavendish at least stands out, but the Italians are bringing the goods. Basso looking sharp but then making a left-field "loafers without socks" choice. Cunego looking daggers at Scarponi for wearing the same weird blue biker jacket. In fact thinking about it it's probably a Lampre sponsor thing, which is also hi-larious in its own right.

    Garzelli (I think? purple tie, second row) only one to master the apparently tricky "dark suit, white shirt, tie" look. Best of all though is the chap in the back row. "Smart you say? Better get the Levi's T-shirt".

    Essentially you've got:

    Touring Car pit crew: Cunego/Scarponi
    Golfer: Cavendish
    Harvard student: Fuglsang
    Magician: JVDB (I think that's him next to Fuglsang)
    Worker in Curry's stock room: EBH
    Gnome mafia hitman: Rujano
    Creep who's going to hit on your girlfriend: Basso
    Court defendant: Rodriguez
    Interviewees for a sales job: Velits/Nibali
    Aging record company A&R man: Dan Martin
    Motorcycle courier: Second left, middle row
    Bloke who still needs his mother to dress him: Middle row, far left

    That would explain the earpiece. "Stock check on the Panasonic? Bah. I could be out throwing axes."

    Think that may be Pozzivivo of Colnago and Veltis looks like a 1970s porn start with that barnet.

    Ashamed that I don't know first on the left in the front row. However second from right at the back with the eyes of a killer is Gadret and I think third from right in the middle is Kreuziger, not JVDB.

    A little research and I can put a name to:

    Battaglin, Lastras, ???, Rujano, Guardini, Nieve, Martin, ???, Galimzyanov

    Gatto, Anton, Kreuziger, Garzelli, Cunego, Fuglsang, Van der Broeck, Ballan, Rodriguez

    Cobo, Nibali, Scarponi, Contador, Cavendish, Basso, Hushovd, Boassen Hagen

    Yeah, I forgot to make an edit. Nieve's the one at the back in the T-shirt. I've changed it now.
