Back to Basics

Alright, enough with the drug bust talk already. The Tour is about to start, and its time to honor tradition go back to what the Tour is all about for so many of us fans....

Spandex watching.

And since the tour starts with a prologue, we'll take at those who, while they can't go for long, are really good at the quickie.

The best at the quickie is Aussie, Brad McGee. Unfortunately he threw out his back (how many times have we heard that one before) and won't be able to perform. Shame.

But don't worry. The prologue won't be Brad-less. There is also Great Britian's Brad Wiggins. (Wiggins...what a great last name....but anyway). And I have a special little soft spot for any man self assured enough to proudly don an all white skinsuit.



And then there is David Millar. Hmm. I appreciate that he admitted his guilt and did his time. But still. I'm not sure what I think of a man who needed drugs just for a quickie. His punishment will be this photo. Although there were many flattering photos of him on the web...he gets this goofy mugshotish one instead.

I know, I know...this pic of Rik Vebrugghe is silly. But really, he left me no choice. Belgian men really shouldn't try and sport an Italian do. They just can't pull it off. Ask Museeuw.



I couldn't really think of anything to say about Fabian Cancellara. But I figure I better include him or Flandria would be all upset and stuff. So, here he is.

And, just in time for the 4th of July, there is good old all american boy next door, David Zabriskie. You could have your quickie, and still bring him home to meet your mother. I hope he wins just because I am an american and thats what we americans do, but also because he's good for fun post race quotes. Go David.

oh. Oops. How did that get in here?
