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.

Di Basco, has just seen Cipo's awesome Sidis and realizes that as they are custom, he'll never get a pair. Cipo is laughing at his distress.
@Marko
Hush now, do not speak disparagingly of the Mighty Urs. Mind you, given DDL's intense immersion into his roles, if he as to do a cycling pic, you know he'd be thrashing himself up and down the cobbles.

Great shot! The Bianchi, chrome fork, Campa...cycling cool to a T. Cipo's got the Briko Shots, though, not Oakleys, which are the raddest shades ever; still have a pair downstairs.

For your consideration:
Winning le Tour for the third consecutive time while in the rainbow jersey counts for something. Never mind doing it while suffering from saddle sores, which required extensive surgery afterwards. And looking this good in so doing.
BRR's head must be exploding right now. I love that site.
@Steampunk, @wiscot
I see you both, and raise you a Prophet.
With that, I leave you with the coup de grâce of what might now be my favorite cycling photo ever.
That was the last bit of motivation I needed to head out on my 130km ride in Seattle, with no less that 13 categorized climbs. It's cold. It's wet. It's windy. Time for Rule 9 at V past 9.

Conversation chez moi this morning:
The final question hardly dignified a response, did it?
@frank
I bet the chocolate milk tasted especially good after that climb fest.

Thank you for your efforts gents, but I believe my point still stands. No-one ever wore a proper cycling cap so perfectly. The jersey is sponsor free and immaculate, the socks pure white, the shoes black and polished. The haircut a perfect short back and sides. But it is the magnificent guns that are the trump card. Taking all these factors into consideration, The Emperor rules.
