Men in Uniforms

I was worried that there wouldn't be enough good pics of the Giro today. Its team time trial day and I figured that would mean lots of pics of guys in the same kit riding around in space ball helmets. Fun for one or two pics, maybe...but not a whole blog's worth.

A little searchin brought up some decent goods for today after all.

Here is a team time trial photo. No need to post anymore pics of this because all the other teams sort of looked like this too, just different colored shirts and booties and spaceballs. Well, except for Euskatel. They probably didn't look like this.

And no time trial blog o mine would be complete without a wide angle spaceball photo

Why does this pic

Remind me of this?

Basso Photo of the day. Fine little bubbly that he is.

And I had a hard time choosing the podium photo of the day. Serguei Gonchar (Didn't his name used to be Sergey Honchar?) is one animated little fella in pink. Here he has some kind of Al Bundy happy scratchy belly thing going on.

And here he is making one hell of a scrunched up kissy face

The drama of the day was Mattias Kessler falling off at 300meters to go and causing TMobile to lose the stage by one second. But I couldn't find a pic of that. So here's a pic of Scott Norwood. Accck! A football reference.

And the scenery photo of the day. For obvious reasons.
