    Hesjedal?

    Edit: FJS beat me to it
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Yup - MSR 2005 (I reckon, having just watched the finish). Danilo Hondo (2nd) beside him

    Thor Hushovd in the background it looks like. Just discovered he's announced his retirement for after the worlds this year. Really quite sad that nobody really took any notice of him. Forgotten in the dusk of his career :(

    +1 Vastly under-rated IMHO. I was always a huge fan and I hope he stays on in the sport - it needs guys like him

    He was third in that race btw

    Not knowing the result of the race, I've no idea looking at that picture whether he won that race or lost it by an inch.

    Definitely Bartoli.

    His position was so extreme; 54 c-to-c seat tube, 58 c-to-c top tube.

    What other race would have PMU hoardings? S-D were in the 06/07/09 TdF but they didn't have had 81 as a number.
