Andrei Tchmil got so tired of the palpable disappointment of not being Belgian that he decided to become one. Envision the world the way you want it to be, then make it so.
People are cynical when I talk about Belgium. They think I’m only Belgian on paper. That is not true. Yes, I was a Russian, even a proud one…. Now I am proud to be Belgian.
A-Merckx; I totally understand the Awesome you’re on about.
Incidentally, I’m so inappropriately excited about Keepers Tour: Cobbled Classics 2012 that I can’t promise next week won’t be another week of unabashed, full-frontal Belgian Toothpaste Porn.

And since we're throwing up cool photos this time around, what's the ruling on Simpsons hat here? I'm sure it's not in compliance, but he makes it look good.
Super tan Anquetil right on his heels.
That's not Simpson or Anquetil, I'm afraid! I think the hat guy is Rudi Altig, and I have no idea about the Salvarani rider but I know it's not Maitre Jacques as he never rode for that team...
@scaler911
Is that really Tom Simpson ? He looks so different to the more gaunt photos one usually sees (apart from also being so used to seeing him in the classic Peugeot strip).
@Oli
Not if that's Fignon; he was on Gatorade by 1993.
@Oli
Right, I'm guessing Leblanc too. Except he's number 21 which makes no sense if it's the Tour. Maybe the Criterium (Dauphine)?

Dude mid-scramble in the suit is the bomb. 100% Studmuffin.
@itburns
Nice. I see those on Honda Civics a lot.
Best picture of Roubaix ever.
@frank
You're right, it's not LeBlanc it is Dominique Arnould - number 121.
And it's not LeMond either! I'll get me coat...
