A blast from Tour de France literature nostalgia for me yesterday, as Vladimir Karpets, number 161, riding for Katusha got involved in the early move on the Grand St Bernard.
As well as an awesome and pun-tastic name, Karpets has a mullet to send women weak at the knees and a fetching earring. He is currently standing in 16th position with a deficit of 05' 56" on the yellow jersey.
His palmares can be found here
And his awesome retro-manliness may be admired below:
This concludes my Vladimir Karpets appreciation for today. 🙂
Anyone else watch out for random riders for spurious reasons?
Shavers Weekly (an occasional Edinburgh publication, devoted to all things Broughton Road/Leith Walk) has beaten you to the Vladimir Karpets appreciation I'm afraid, with a nice little storyboard devoted to him last year, involving drunken Shavers staff heckling him because of, er, his funny name.
