Riding bareback with Eikopf

Watching stage 4 of this years Tour, I found myself wondering if Stefan Schumacher was wearing an aero-helmet, or merely painted his Gerlosteiner team colors on to his scalp.

Either way, he put in an impressive ride. For his sake, I hope he doesn't celebrate too much tonight.

The Badger Bouncer.

Back in the early 1980s, when strikers blocked the road at Paris Nice, Bernard Hinault rode into the group, and proceeded to punch away. Twenty five years later, and the protesters still haven't learned: don't mess with the Blaireau.
