    This year is better. He won the Tour of Qatar rather than finish fourth.

    He looks skinnier that I would have expected.

    Those tattoos must be new / photoshopped.

    Photoshopped. The photo comes from a 2011 interview.

    Does he get brownie points for how we won Paris-Roubaix? A 56km solo trumps a velodrome sprint in my book.

    I think he'll be adding the Olympics to his palamares this year too.
