As an excuse to get this thread back on topic I thought I'd post this one.
I mentioned it a few pages back and anyone who has read Will Foth's book on Hinault will be familiar with it. I just love it and if I could get a big print of it , it would definitely be adorning the wall of my Man Cave.
I had this poster on my wall at the time of it happeing. Probabaly a pull out from winning magazine. I remeùmber thinking what the heck the sponges were. I still have a poster of Moser from the same time, but seem to have lost this one.0 -

Specially for FF who says there no good ToB photos (true to a degree). SKY, union flags, 'normal' people enjoying cycling. What more could you want?

Lovely photo.
Daniel Summerhill (UnitedHealthCare) won the 2015 Reading 120 in a downpour from Toms Skujins (Hincapie) at 10 seconds in second place and Chris Jones, also UnitedHealthCare at 26 seconds in third.
