    Best Sunglasses : George Hincapie

    Just a pair of Jawbones, like a huge percentage of the peloton wear? I want to see someone with a homemade pair of wooden sunglasses...

    Well, not quite. They look very like these but with different lenses and jaws.

    But if you can find someone wearing wooden glasses, then that's good for me! :D

    greasedscotsman is VERY interested in cyclists' specs.

    This thread is only a joke, greased. (Apart from the most-injured-rider post of mine)

    Anyway,

    Worst Socks Award : Wiggins, and anyone else who wears black socks. :(

    the 'Elmer Fudd/WTF are YOU doing here' double take prize goes to...

    LL Sanchez.

    Not for for the moment when Sagan caught him on the mountain, but also for his reactions at being baulked at the line TWICE by Sky and his look of resignation when seeing Wiggo's and Froome's splits on yesterday's TT...
