    YES!
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Already covered.

    Not taken at MSR - wrong road, wrong bike and wrong helmet.

    Also doesn't look like he's holding on, looks (from the very grainy image) like he has his left hand on the bars.

    That this photo keeps resurfacing shows how desperate people are to stick something on Démare and FDJ. I suppose it’s just our natural appetite for scandal rather than anything more sinister, but it’s weird.

    Thats just the Internet/twitter. Like after the Scottish referendum people were circulating pictures of the 2011 riots and saying it was Glasgow etc etc.

    You know, I'd never encountered the word 'polemic' until I started following cycling.

    Yeah I love the one of the peloton "disappearing"around the corner. Shame (thought totally understandable) they don't make them available, that would be a good desktop!

    Click on the image to enlarge, right click, view background image, right click, set as desktop background.

    Some great photos, shame they're not credited. Stylewise I'd be surprised if at least some of them aren't from Gruber(s).

    In what browser? not Chrome...

    That was Firefox.

    It's a little more complicated in Chrome.

    Click on image to enlarge, right click, choose "Inspect". You'll see the page source and some stylesheet stuff come up at the bottom of the page. In the right panel you'll see something like this:
    element.style {
    background-image: url("https://exposure.imgix.net/production/photos/m155ky0q67uv7vicvsuhe6ptbv86w291xnp3/original.jpg?fm=pjpg&auto=format&q=60&nrs=30&dpr=1&w=1323");
}

    Right click on this, choose "Open link in new tab" and Bob's your uncle.

    Scandalous.... Demare = Fraud... are they going to do anything about it or just let him get away with that?

    You're right - the metadata says Gruber Images. They are fantastic photos.

    Nice. They really are in a class of their own, imo.
