Trudging through the mud at GVA Azencross Loenhout 2011 with a photo from Kristof Ramon.

Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle and hardman Johann Museeuw chasing in the 1994 Paris-Roubaix, coming from Velominati’s coverage of the event.

This is one of my favourite cycling images ever.
I've always wondered what was going on with the back of their jerseys, but nevertheless it's an ace shot.

Luci - is it possible they started in rain and stuffed their gilets or jackets down there before the sprint when the sun came out? ^^

Yeah, that's my nearest guess too. Still, it doesn't detract from the fury of that sprint.
I had the honour of watching Cipollini and Erik Zabel duking it out is Spain one year, and though it was good it just didn't have that rawness caught in the Hinault image.

It's the near identical facial expressions that does it for me. There's nothing in it, endless miles and they can't get a gnats pube between em. They're even sucking air into their lungs in exactly the same way!

Speculation on Velominati is that the hunchbacks are sponges
