Here's my reasoning: You can see an Omega Pharma car with the initial P on the front, which is only used if there are two riders with the same surname on the team - which means it's Velits. So then you just have to find who started near him. Vino started two places ahead of him (and was four minutes slower)
Classic example of Rich shows his workings at the side

Other than that....
It looks like Vino.0 -
Came up on my Twitter timeline. Wonder can anyone guess without cheating?

^^^ Well Team Cinzano isn't real. They're from the film Breaking Away (ramming pumps into spokes if I remember). It's a good film - far superior to American Flyers.
Now the one bit of trivia I know about that film is that one of Team Cinzano was played by Christian Vande Velde's dad - a high class rider in his own right apparently. Is it him? I don't know his first name.Twitter: @RichN950 -

John.
US Olympian and 6 day rider apparently
The bicycle-racing blood runs deep in Chicago native John Vande Velde’s family. It was his destiny, he explained, to become a bike racer because his father, uncle and brother raced. Vande Velde’s grandfather immigrated to Chicago from Belgium and the love of the sport has been passed from generation to generation in the family. The family tree now includes his son Christian, currently racing for Garmin-Sharp; daughter Marisa, who was a two-time national track champion, and youngest son Ian, a multiple national and world transplant Olympian.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

Anyone know the rider on Cipo's wheel? If he is a no-name then not to worry.

That's a photo of what men looked like when they had real jobs, fought wars and freed continents.

oh, by the way, I counted at least 6 sky/froome/wiggins digs from you over the last 24 hours. It's getting a bit boring to be honest. Especially coming from someone not being able to name Bartali - but still posts great pics, though. Cheers.0

You can tell it's the off season, Frenchie has started two whole threads having a dig at a Sky rider.0 -

Take it or leave it. This forum would have been a totally sh!t read this week if I hadnt intervened massively. People are so so quick to jump in and talk sh!t to me and complain but they rarely post positively or contribute anything.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Touche. Or should I say touchy.
Only joking, FF, you've posted some good stuff on here this week. You've got a good point there.It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.0 -

ALL HAIL THE SAVIOR OF BIKERADAR FORUMS DURING THE OFF SEASON.
Other than the pretty pictures I've never seen one positive post from you on here. Ever.0 -
Do you seriously think you are in the right here? FF has been around here for ages. He has 17,000 posts. He's part of the furniture. You should know what he's like by now. Oh no, hang on you relatively new so you won't.sjmclean wrote:frenchfighter wrote:skylla wrote:oh, by the way, I counted at least 6 sky/froome/wiggins digs from you over the last 24 hours.

I disagree with him on pretty much anything. He's all about style and aesthetics, I'm pragmatic and mechanical. His Sky knocking is just a charming affectation.
Yet while I may despair of him, I think I've defended him more than attacked him. Vive Le Difference and all that.Twitter: @RichN950 -

I can see your point Rich, and I do agree I haven't been here as long or made as many posts as FF (I did have another account for about 1 year before I started using this one and lost it due to a computer issue), so maybe I am wrong to try and have a debate with him about these subjects- you see that's is what I did at first. It never worked, go see the Dan Martin climbing on feel thread, I tried to have a serious conversation with him but in the end he sent me the famous contador taped SRM picture, to which I replied with 6 or 7 pictures which countered this, so he complimented how pretty they were and just blanked the conversation. He can't debate as soon as he is proven wrong there is no admission he just jumps to the next thread.
Is it old boys club rules round here? Where because he has been here the longest, he can do what he wants unchallenged? I find his narcissism irritating and his constant petty posts ridiculous. He's started at least three threads this week to have a dig at Sky/wiggins/froome, maybe if he is so into style etc he can just ignore them. At some point this week he has been watching a video of Nibali doing a bunny hop coming down a mountain (impressive) and his first thought is: "I bet Froome or Wiggins couldn't do this."
I genuinely 100% believe he hasn't actually blocked me, IMO comments against his will fuel his little war, he needs to see them.0 -
SMJ.
Stick to posting about topics rather than posters, unless you have something good to say.
Eventually you'll learn what's appropriate and what isn't.0
