Tour de France 2001
The Best Bits

Photo's that don't really fit on either of the other categories.

A watched mobile phone never rings. Especially if you are waiting for crumpet to call.

David Millar's girlfriend was in the crowd with the Millar Fan Club.

 

The gentle bum slap must be some kind of continental greeting between young men in lycra.

 

The world's best/worst pro cycling mullet depending on your viewpoint.

 

And again, Laurent Brochard's spiky on top, short at the sides and LONG AT THE BACK just incase you thought it was fake.

 

This guy has got to be the most Italian looking bloke I have ever seen. Even more Italian than that Big Tony or whatever his name is in the Sopranos. Interestingly Nardello (in the background) isn't wearing his newly won Italian national champions Jersey. Perhaps his clothing suppliers take as long to deliver an order as ours do. With any luck he should have it in time for Christmas.

 

Eric Zabel seemed really cheesed off. He was in a team with no lead out men and had three weeks of unnecessary suffering ahead of him.

 

These scabs were incredibly bad. The camera doesn't really do the pain this CSC rider must have endured justice. Look carefully for the end of the broken finger still bandaged up.

The devil signed more autographs than Armstrong did. He was the very last person to leave the presentation. He is even more mad than he appears on telly.

 

The night before the prologue the Belgians and Dutch were out everywhere painting the streets of Dunkirk.

 

The first rider in the start house waiting to get the 2001 Tour de France underway. There were so many people out watching including 20,000+ Brits that all the photos from here on turned out crap. Still, perhaps some of the other 20 odd Agreeables at the race got some we can put up.
