wow. I need something to back this claim up

It's a picture of their Tour de France leaders

More Movistar gold on the way, given that, in their own words, "everyone had asked for it".

Will Marc Soler's lolsome plea for help be ansered?

Tom Boonen’s jumper/cardigan/waistcoat/jacket/thing. Give it a moment.

I actually laughed out loud at this

Very good

Valverde retirement is a devastating news; he has so much to give

Always dragging it back to blood...

The jeans and sheux combo on the bottom half would probably melt our faces

Is that recent? If so he’s looking well, albeit we should question his mental wellbeing. If you’ve spent much time in Belgium this outfit is not a shock, and yes, he wearing ripped bleached jeans and office shoes

It's very old, taken around 2003 I think.

Yes it’s old but I don’t think forgivable.

It gets worse;

Guess who won boxhill/wulunga again.

I’d love to see more photos of pros in civies. But not the classy retro, coppi stuff; more of this tragic 90s/naughties euro style. Someone must have photos of Jan Ulrich in Berghain.

Easy to date Boonen by his baldness.

You’ll note he’s thinning on that pic at about 25. Bald as a coot by 2014.

tragic 90s/naughties euro style.

sounds like a good idea for a Tumblr in about 2012. imagine being at one of their parties. paprika pringles, kronembourg stubbies and beak on tap

There’s some amazing pics of Philippa York in civvies from back in the day.

Huh, Tom Dumoulin taking a break from cycling.

really odd given how he was talking about his focus for the upcoming season in the video posted above. sounds like something he's been considering for a while

Tom’s pretty happy about it. Good.

Good for him. Sad day for cycling though, hope one day he'll return. Love to watch him put the hammer down and sincere post race interviews.

His moral but be quit low after hitting such highs in 2017 and not being able to get back to that level.
