Be warmed you may faint with the amount of quality.

You do talk sh!te sometimes, Frenchie, but that last line did make me chuckle. Gruber is a master.

Literally? As in someone comes and smacks you across the mouth as you're sat at the computer?

Love this one from the Tour de Beauce finishing yesterday. Caja one two of the five stages (including a mountain win from little Tux), won the overall and won the team classification.

Hi-res photos by James Startt of the Lacets de Montvernier

And one from a descent on yesterday's Dauphine stage:

Both great for desktop backgrounds.

Reza is class. I hope he goes better in the next part of the season.

superb! reminds me of one of my three top fav pics which is TV Tommy in yellow reading the paper and having a coffee before the start of that day's stage. I think you've posted a pic of that before FF.

the other two are the Pantani "crucified christ" pic which I think is earlier in this thread and the third is the one which can be seen in Will Foth's latest Hinault book of Hinault, Planckaert and another rider eyeballs out in the sprint!

We moan about it a lot sometimes but it's such a great sport.

Np. There is a superb photo of Coppi reading a newspaper which I can't find atm but will post up when I do.

There are some absolute classics in here which I suspect you will like:

I think I have posted this one before but just in case not; it's a personal favourite:

His legs look like they are straight off a Michelangelo sculpture.

Great photos but I still give Tommy the nod over Nocentini for "cool" (in this instance)

I love this pic of Viviani chasing his wheel across a field in Strade Bianchi, don't recall ever seeing a pic quite like it, so I reckon it belongs here.

You'd have thought the mechanical doping guys would have been all over this!

My favourite pictures of Coppi show the near religious devotion of his supporters. If I had you skills for finding pictures I would post an example, but I'm sure you know what I mean.
