No prizes for guessing who got presented with this little runaround. Which leads onto pro riders and their cars, a sort of side tracked 2013 gear thread. Just a bit of fun folks.

    Did wiggo get a Jag too? Or was a knighthood enough?

    Anyone got a pic of Chavanel's Camaro? Apparently his Spesh was painted the same colour as his car...

    Not very anonymous, though suspect it just gets driven to cycling related events.

    Wiggins was driving an X5 acc to someone I know who lives near him. Part of the BMW sponsorship of the Olympics. But he may be part of Jaguars programme for free cars for famous people. Basically free car just put petrol in and it gets changed every 11 months. T-Mobile had Audi back in the day. Cavendish has I think a BMW endorsment but that maybe in mainland Europe

    Boonen was driving/crashing a Lambo for a while. Sagan got a Porsche last year for winning the Green Jersey.

    Ullrich of course had similar parking skills aided by alcohol (Audi TT as I remember)
