Watching that video made me realise how good Franco Pellizotti is, he was so far towards the front

That's not Pellizotti, it's Daniel Oss.

Haha, maybe they've just not changed the hairdresser since Piipo's time? Although according to Anthony Pope today he has his own personal one

My photo from 2008, I only got the brother.

Anybody notice this guy in June's Cycle Sport? It's a Graham Watson photo of Cancellara just about to pass him. For somebody who stands in the same place he sure gets around a lot.

top and bottom pics are the same year as already pointed out.

If someone had taken a picture of me in front of my telly, I was probably identically attired

GERAARDSBERGEN - With clenched fists and a primal scream that makes cobblestone rumble. So did Henry Rossom (23) back into view with the passage of the cyclists on the Chapel Wall. The young man stood at the exact same place as last year the platoon encouragement.

Like the previous three years was Henry Van Antwerp Rossom also yesterday in the first row on the chapel wall. No coincidence, as the student applied economics wants nothing of the mythical passage of the round miss out on the cobblestones of Grammont.

"I really like the course," says Henry. Self I ever climbed the Mont Ventoux, but my bike activities are now at a low ebb. I follow the bicycle races on television. But the Tour of Flanders, which I absolutely live experience. That can best when in the Wall, a real monument where cycling is often the decision is made. I hope that the Wall the next few years is included in the final, otherwise it is a boring. "

Henry and his friends were already halfelf to their permanent place on the last corner on the hill, dozens of meters from the Lady Chapel. And they do not depart inch of their place, because the riders will soon ride again brushed over. "It's quite a challenge to maintain our permanent place," Henry emphasized. "You have wide enough so that you have room. And if you must go to pee or grab a beer, then your colleagues to make sure that your place is not taken. "

Deafening primal scream

Henry and his friends are not the only 'creatures of habit "on the Chapel Wall. Next to them are a few rogue Basque each year at the cycling appointment. They worked with their Flemish Wall Size a nice day.

"How the game goes, we do not know, we have no radio with it, 'says the Antwerp. "We do so as the riders without ears. We come here mainly for the adrenaline rush the passage of the riders gives us every time. It starts with the circling helicopters. You know that the riders were extremely close. I get chills really, the adrenaline racing through my body. "

And when the riders finally to climb the Wall 15.23, Henry takes his typical attitude of supporters. With clenched fists, knees bent and a deafening primal scream orbit, the riders ahead.

Yesterday he was a struggling Cancellara even give a helping hand. A moment of ultimate happiness supporters for Henry. "I'm actually a fan of Tom Boonen, but have respect for all riders. The are all exceptional athletes. "

His encouragement typical pose now immortalized in many photographs of domestic and foreign press photographers. There is even a Spanish-language Facebook group created for fans of what they call the "freak of the chapel. Which already includes 266 members.

Sorry to spoil all the fun but it is in fact me.!

I'm up that way 3 times a year with customers of ours who we sell lasers to, the guy with the glasses in 2nd and 3rd pics is Hans my co worker.

I'm amazed that someone has picked up on this. I had no idea about these, where did you get the pics?

You need a few beers at the bottom of the Muur after a performance like that, if only to get the blood pressure down.

The guy in the green hoodie was wearing the same green hoodie last year!

He just had to be a Henry.

eagle eyed ant

Nah I noticed it to and my eye sight is terrible lol. Oh and the commentators mentioned it as well

I still don't understand why he went running off like that though? If he was off to his next spot you'd have thought he'd watch the peloton past first.

The other guy (who seems to get mistaken for The Kapelmuur guy) was there back in 2006.

He shat himself with excitement as the leaders of the peloton passed?

The guy obviously wants his pic in print.The best place to see/get pics,is over the road,hence,the best place to be seen is opposite the photographers.
we were just below the photographers & TV stand,& got a few pics last year


Sorry 'bout the 'big' pic,not posted 'em on here before
Note Tom's front wheel is actually slightly off the ground :shock:
