He was popular long before he got to Sky too.
It's the (mostly) expressionless face. It's that it doesn't matter what the other riders are doing, Kiry will carry on at his own, interminable pace. His breakaway companions can attack all they like, they will eventually, inevitably succumb to Kiry's pace - and then he will hurt them all over again. He is the T-1000.0 -

You forgot to mention G.S. Grassi - Marco Pantani. Anyone able to name any other members of that team in 2005?He's also been at if for bloody ages hasn't he?
Was the right hand man for Valverde for a long time iirc?
He always seemed a useful diesel domestique with no charisma to me. The robot ulrich version of Sylvestre Szmid.

i loved footage from a race earlier this year (romandie maybe). there were names dropping off the back of the group one after another. the camera shot changes to the front and kiryenka was on the front, non handed, putting his sunnies on the back of his helmet."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

Superb idea Ron, how about "Burgundy's Law"?0 -

Sounds like a plan, but I'm busy trying to catch Kiri in order to bring Baxter back to San Diego.0 -

Doesn't he use a sandpaper wrapped saddle?0

Yup
Sporza had a video on the same article as that photo of the Tour of the Basque country in 2014 with a similar incident for Martin, except he's clad in his all white skin suit. Looked ouchy."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Brave move by Women's TT Champion Villumsen. She rode a bike that wasn't her trade team UHC issued Wilier. Team knew about this before the ride and told her that if she didn't ride the trade team TT bike she'd be fired. She said fine and won. Team now backtracking and saying she's still got a job and might only be fined...0

Because with exception of his old pal Valverde, Kiri may be the single most stylish rider in the peloton*

Haha great story. Im sure she could take the world bands to a few other places if she wants to really get the high ground!0

Apparently the team was only told half an hour before, and is mostly angry at being told so late. Different angle...Brave move by Women's TT Champion Villumsen.
