Kevin van Impe retires?

Unbelievable as it sounds, Kevin van Impe has announced his retirement today. I have little to say on this matter other than he will be missed. I always enjoyed seeing him bounce off the front of the peloton. A Joy to watch. I would like to wish him the very best for the future.

I just love this picture. It shows just so much. I found it on Kristof Ramon's flickr stream. He is arguably one of the best photographers of cycling out there,

Just look at the faces of these riders. Mid pack, burrying themselves. Its torture, elation, pain, suffering, exquisite joy. So many things can be can be gleaned from this one snapshot of a race. One of the best i have seen of a modern race that really made my hairs stand on end.

Brilliant work Kirstof....more please.
