Ah yes! Dave Watson at Alpe d'Huez
The hustler, you beat me to it. So iconic.

Armstrong while far from my favourite rider certainly provided us with many memorable moments

Oh, and Armstrong? n0085!

I knew there'd be a tryhard trying to claim less well known history
Baited trap worked perfectly 🙂
It was on the Galibier.
Watson got bucked big time and ended up with his trousers round his ankles being chased by the gendarme... 😛

What's happening in that picture Clubber?
Ace stuff people, thanks, keep 'em coming. I've got one of Cavendish's wheel bending, and one of Cippolini smoking a cigarette.
I saw a picture on here years ago of Cadel Evans photographed from behind, with the bike virtually horizontal in a corner - never been able to find it though.

JHW clubbers pic shows 2 guys mutual respect crossing the line a couple of years later than mine, they crossed together having decimated the rest of the field

More to the point, it was the final proper road stage that year where they went head to head and neither was able to drop the other.
Cool background
Haha I edited my post before you commented sir!
fallen to your own bait there clubber?
Could have been a good come-back until that pic (BTW is that Anderson and Roche in the background)?
Still spaces on the next Big Hitter seminar...
haha that is brilliant
probably need something a bit more sporting for my friend though
It was only intended as a gentle ribbing, Al 😉

Same here fella. Happy to give out Big Hitter tips though, I think my days on top are numbered.
All the pros hate the Devil don't they? Shout "Get a job" etc when they pass?
No riders, but an incredible shot of an incredible climb. (Also the Giro, not tdf)

Clubber - the Hinault fighting one has been my desktop background for the last couple of years.
What about this one?

Not sure about all but probably because by all accounts, he stinks - he wears the same outfit right through the tour apparently...
This kinda thing....

Lucien Van Impe about to punch his bike
How about the TdF Picture Archive from ProCycling [url= http://www.bikeradarstore.com/collection/2406/tour-de-france-archive ]HERE[/url]?

Some great ones but nothing that's quite perfect for him yet - but thanks. These are amazing pictures.
Come on keep hitting me up 🙂
Anything that captures a moment particularly (but is available in large size for framing) - that "The Look" would be perfect but can't find it
Fumy!

I cant link the image here, but [url= http://photos.grahamwatson.com/Print-Gallery/Pirata/10787306_qrWHrG#!i=1406191414&k=WRNGdB3 ]this one[/url] is pretty sweet.
Graham Watson has a huge collection of stunning photos, catorgized by rider and event I think. Worth a look.
Pretty sure that 'the look' is a Graham Watson pic so probably available to buy on his site.
Great shout on Fumi Beppu, and Pantani/Armstrong.
Here's another, unfortunately i can only find it in low-res:

This one? was the Giro though,

It's hard to imagine that shot of Evans ending up any way other than him smashing into the barrier!
30 years ago, but it shows the class that Bernard Hinault had as he wins the final stage, and the TdeF, in 1982 in a sprint against the likes of Sean Kelly, Adrie Van der Poel.
This sort of thing does not happen these days.
bigringriding has lots often with links to biger versions

What a rude man!
There are great galleries on the Boston.com/big picture site if memory serves me right.
www.bigringriding.com has plenty
I recognise a lot of those above from there, but no-one seems to give the link :-/
As above ...

This one for me Indurain held off the peloton through the Ardenne for a minute, single handed! There is another one from the same stage with Bruyneel(eventual stage winner) struggling to hold Indurain's wheel.
