    It's almost a cliche now isnt it, but the Shouty Jonge is actually a great photo. Really captures the passion of the Belgian fans
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    What was the photo with a cyclist's name written in the snow on a mountain pass where the photographer later said he was the one that wrote it there to get the perfect shot?

    I used to have a poster of this. I was always intrigued by the sponges (?) down their jerseys.

    There were many great images taken during the mud section of the 2010 Giro d'Italia.
