Here we go again, folks! Clean, safe for work pics of real athletes and sportspeople if you please! People who are both athletic AND aesthetic. Bit of a multisport theme to start with, but I'm sure it'll go wherever it goes. Oh, and let's see whwat we can do for the ladies today, shall we?

Hollie Avil, UK swim/bike/runnist

Another SBRist here, the wonderfully named Desiree Ficker

There is another photo of VP with the flat cap, kerchief and weskit knocking around the internets

She looks uncannily like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

He always comes across as a stroppy whiner when it's not going his way, but maybe that's the TV effect.

Not enough gentle modulation on the brakes, that'll be the two fingers 🙄

I don't know who he is, but I like the heft of his sabre... or is that an Epée?

Gravy, I don't think we've ever had KMC in the A&A before! That's a serious oversight, as let's face it, he REALLY fits the bill!

Talented, a good looking chap and an all round top man as well. Rest in peace, JMC. Ride free.

Well there really is only one candidate today:
