    I think PMU have a deal for all ASO races.

    Delete. I was wrong. The photo is from 2008.

    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.
    They were only Saunier Duval Scott in 2008, before that they were Saunier Duval Prodir. Hence, it's from 2008. Garate had 81 at the 2005 Tour, but it's the wrong kit.

    Could it be Millar in the Paris-Nice 2007 Prologue ? It's the right version of their jersey as far as I can work out 'cos I think that blue line down the inside of the arm panel vanished later

    Edit: I was wrong about the jersey so scrub that

    You are right that he was in the race (won the prologue). Looks a bit bulky for him though and apparently he was 161.

    My investigations lead me to believe it is Rubens Bertogliati at the 2008 Tour of Romandie.

    It's 2008 kit, PMU sponsor the green jersey at Romandie and Bertogliati wore number 81.

    With Mario Beccia on his wheel and eventual winner, Sean Kelly, coming across to them. Lemond got second, Beccia third.

    Agostino said cycling was easy compared with fighting in Angola and Mozambique.

    No idea who the last photo shows, but it looks to me like the actor who played Hugo Koblet in the Swiss film about Koblet (“Pédaleur de charme“). The film was made in 2010 but only premiered at the Locarno film festival about 2 weeks ago.

    Koblet was supposed to have been the James Dean of the cycling world, not just because like Dean he was killed young(ish) in a car crash he caused himself, but also even before then on account of his lifestyle and the image he tried to project. Like Dean this included leather jackets, cigarettes hanging off the mouth, women and fast cars (Koblet had an Alfa Romeo, Dean a Porsche).

    But I don’t think it’s the real Koblet – his facial structure was different, not so solid and rectangular.

    Not exactly Koblet's hairdo though, is it?

    Its either Houvenhaghel or Trott, my best guess is Trott as I can't remember Wendy being one to paint he fingernails like that.

    The three are 189 Houvenhagel , 24 Trott and 192 Rowsell from London World Cup 2012
