I was deeply saddened to [url= http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/13072010/58/tour-de-france-karpets-broken-hand.html ]read[/url] (rather belatedly) that the legend that is Vladimir Karpets will once again fall short of the Tour de France victory that would rightfully be his if mullets and awesome names were more decisive in determing overall victory.

Sad news indeed. That said, crap moustaches seem to be coming back into fashion in the peloton which can only be a good thing.
Tbh, with that hair he deserves a punch in the knackers regardless of owt else.
Proper hardman roadie haircut.
It's curtains for Karpets.

Sung to the tune of Kate Bush's Babooshka:

I had a haircut like that in the eighties 😯
In Russia, the 80s never went away. 🙂
Years ago on here there was a link to some awesome German guys website,
I think he rode at the back during most the TdF, not sure if it was the English to German translator or something but it used to be full of incredible quotes like 'today I crush the mountains with my huge thighs of steel' always wished I'd saved the link.
Was a spoof Ulrich site.

XWwaswas eurosport commentator actually said that a few years ago when he quit the tour one year 😉
