Anatomy of a Photo: Take a Look While You Still Can

FDJ guy: Is that the new fizik Kurve in Bull?

Fast Phil: Oui.

FDJ guy: Mind if I have a look?

Fast Phil: Do it while you can because it’ll be blowing past you later.

Marko

Marko lives and rides in the upper midwest of the States, Minnesota specifically. "Cycling territory" and "the midwest" don't usually end up in the same sentence unless the conversation turns to the roots of LeMond, Hampsten, Heiden and Ochowitz. While the pavé and bergs of Flanders are his preferred places to ride, you can usually find him harvesting gravel along forest and farm roads. He owes a lot to Cycling and his greatest contribution to cycling may forever be coining the term Rainbow Turd.

  • And what are the feelings on Gilbert's kit & gear this year. Too much coordination or looking good?

  • @Ron
    Despite the rule violation, I do believe he's got the Pro look down solid. I vote for Looking Good.

  • Gilbert is the personification of casually deliberate... that guys rocks. Have to agree with Calmante (holy cow- someone take note!) that Offredo looks like he hasn't had a decent meal in weeks.

    It always amazes me that guys that skinny can ride as hard as they do. I know part of it is weight/power ratio working in their favor, and they still have muscle and approximately 0% body fat. But still. He needs a damn sandwich or three. And some beer.

  • listen, here is the deal, its really simple, Gilbert is alpha. We are all in a pack like dogs

    The FDJ dude is just sniffing his ass as to say 'good morning', 'how's it hangin', 'can I play'? like a new dog in the pack he has no idea, but just wants to play along

    and Gilbert does just like Marko mentions: whatever dude, your getting blown off the back whenever I feel like it

  • Last time I saw arms that skinny, they were attached to Angelina Jolie.

    The other FdJ rider is taking advantage of the rare opportunity NOT to see Phil Gil's ass.
