    Two current pros in this one too, with a CX theme. One easy, one very hard.

    On the right is Sven Nys. In the middle being handed the flowers, Mario de Clerq? Tom Boonen on the very left?

    Right with Nys, wrong with de Clerq. Guy in the middle doesn't race in Europe much anymore, but is still pro.

    Two of these guys are current WT pros.

    the yellow looks like Voekler - but who is that guy in blue - he looks very familiar

    Is the polka dots Gilbert?

    Yes, a very guilty Gilbert, hoping the others don't realise it was him who farted.

    Bloke on the far right looks like stijn vandenburgh

    Nope, that's Pieter Mertens who rode for Lotto in 2006-7. Tall guy on the right is Renaud Boxus, who never rode as pro AFAIK. The race is the Ronde van Namen/Namur, which I think used to be UCI rated, but is now a Elite 2.12 Interclub.

    Well the best I could do was the girl telling me it was Belgium.
    I sussed a low ranking chipper and gave up.

    Yeah that was easy, the race is easy to identify cos Bettini was in the World Cup jersey and Paolini led him out. Can't remember the Saeco rider that followed them though

    Reading this month's procycling, I didn't realise this rider looked like this...

    For sure.

    Always thought he had a fat face and big head on a small body.

    (I'm a big fan, honest).

    Andy Hampsten far right is the easy one. Dag Otto Lauritzen with his shirt off I presume. Davis Phinney right in the middle in the dark grey top. Andy Bishop next to Hampsten. Is that Bob Roll in front of Dag Otto? And Steve Bauer on the left in the white cap?

    Carmichael? Heiden? Jeff Pierce?

    Sean Yates is third from left.
    Doesn't look like Bob Roll made it.

    Really? Looks too fat to be Yates for me.

    I'm pretty sure, but wouldn't bet my shirt on it ....
    The hair and glasses are very Yatesyesque.
    Any ideas on the guy in light grey nearest the camera? Looks very familiar.

    Nope, no Yates or Bobke in that photo.
