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.

Found this a little while back and while DiBasco and Cipo's not down and dirty, who cares when they looks this good? Like, I ain't messing this up..
and this does suit the thread
Just admiring that first one again...Cipo, oakley's, a beautiful Bianchi with a silver fork rake to die for, a ponytail, a six pack, may be some man-scaping...my beating heart don't fail me now
@Marko
Heh, heh, heh.
@Marko said Unicorn Vaginas.
Where's @Minion and @JiPM when you need them?
Back to the Chiapucci pic, the Coke water bottles alone make that pic.
And the wee-man in the black and white pic riding his bike up a scree slope for Christ's sake. It's like the men with the picks and shovels are right in front of him make the "road" for him as he pedals on his way. Epic.
The checkered hat is no good. Looks like a B movie being made about bike racing and Elvis is going to pop out of that car and start singing.
RIP Franco
RIP Wouter
Daniel Day-Lewis used to race bikes.
I'm going to declare right now in front of all of you that the FAEMA Flandria black shorts with WC jersey as worn here by VanLooy is the best looking kit of all time.
One more.
@Oli
@ChrisO
You're both right of course. I've gotta stop posting after a few IPA's. I'm thinking Frank is going to demote me back to level 4.
Bob Roll getting it a bit wrong
In 1970 Merckx attacked with 31km to go and won with a 5+ minute gap on RDV
The 1000 yard stare
Wow. I love that Arenberg photo. It beautifully defines cycling and suffering. Great find.
@Marko
No-one, and I mean no-one, ever looked as good in the WC jersey as Van Looy. I challenge all you boys with the technical know-how to prove me wrong. Mr. Cavendish, please take note.
