Giro d'Italia 2012 - Photographs!
« on: May 09, 2012, 19:30 »
A thread for photos for this year's Giro.  It can't be too long before Cav's grazed bottom makes an appearance I am sure. 

All kinds of photographs welcomed but I wanted to post a few of mine. Not exactly action shots but I found them...entertaining  ;D

Stage 1
Kim Andersen's car has been interestingly modified.


Stage 2
Kim Andersen still pretty happy zipping about in this car.


Stage 3
Some mechanic has clearly been given the task the previous evening of scraping yellow paint off the car.


I just wanted to share these ones with the velorooms folks, especially after people told me that they were photoshopped and that I should "look closer" to verify that was indeed the case.  :)

Fignon - In my day, doping methods were derisory and the riders´exploits were massive.
For the last 15 years or so  it has been the other way rond: there is a huge number of ways in which riders can dope, and any exploits are derisory.

This is a screen grab from the tv. Interesting how all the photographers missed it and ran after Scarponi  ;D

I know, I was thoroughly disappointed that not one photographer had managed/decided to take this shot. Screen grab shall have to suffice!

I bet lots of them were disappointed too  ;D but they tend to be sheep but i thought Kristof Ramon would've got it.

some nice pics and not one of Cav getting a push.

Funny to see the Androni car getting pushed, when you think they had a motor in it and still couldn't get up a mountain yet Savio slagged Ruajno! ::)

I thought that photo of mine would be more popular than it was! Well, I liked it anyway :)
Phinney came out of doping control with this cake in his hand.  When a soigneur asked why he had a cake he replied: "I have no idea.  I asked for it".  Nope, didn't make sense to me either!

Anyone have the photo of ryder sharing the cup with the team?
Despite the self-serving data benders and associated propaganda to the contrary, I am led to believe that there are pockets of organised, highly sophisticated dopers, even within 'new age' cycling teams. Personally, I don't accept that the 'dark era' has ended, it has just morphed into a new guise.
