Jens win yesterday in the Tour of California

[/img]
But pics of Jens never do the man justice... so here are some quotes after his win
"I just did the same move I've been doing since the ice age, and I couldn't believe they let me go."
'I can't believe they're giving me 20 seconds, don't they know?',"

I'm struggling to post from my phone, but this seems like the ideal time for someone to put up a pic of Marco Tardelli from 1982.

In all seriousness I think that the frequency of its pulsation is such that it really grabs you - its almost like good dance music.
Er, yeah. Nice one! 😆
Was a bit random, my bad... didn't see the word 'sporting' in the requirement, just the words 'performance' and 'photograph'... 😳
