    He waiting for some fool to walk on his freshly cut lawn. Then he's going to push him over that nasty-looking barbed wire fence. Just keeping himself sharp for those podium intruders in July.

    Someone should tell them they should be wearing safety glasses. I'll offer to inform JVS, who is going to tell Hinault?

    From skin tight well fitted hideous lycra to over sized baggy hideous body warmers.

    Cyclists clearly not known for their fashion sense.

    You can tell Hinault that though.

    Also, I thought Garmin were bad payers? He can afford a massive lawn, a monkey puzzle tree and the biggest lawn mower in the world!

    Perhaps the pay is so bad that it's someone else's garden and lawnmower and he's earning a few pennies :D

    Every good Frenchman has a set of overalls for manual labour. I reckon it must be the law.

    He can't yet afford to fix the crazy paving though.*


    *Although this is Belgium, crazy paving is probably a mark of good taste in Belgium.
    Correlation is not causation.
