Tour of Missouri

9.7.09
A few highlights from the trip...

Jens Voigt getting his pre-race caffeine fix


Jonathan Vaughters finalizing his race strategy. Gives us the thumbs-up after my dad says, "Good luck today, J.V."


Floyd Landis apparently hoping not to get beat up as he is escorted by his bodyguard.


#1 for the defending champion, Christian Vande Velde...who went home after crashing in the first stage. XXX'er Tom Briney representing in the background.


The "God of Thunder" on his way to the team area. Incidentally, Thor Hushovd is the only pro who appears to be built like me. In other words, he looks relatively fat compared to the rest of the emaciated pros who look like they haven't had a decent meal in several years.


"Big" George Hincapie rolls out!


Cavendish, J.J. Haedo, and Hushovd go 1-2-3 at the opening stage in St. Louis.

The biggest highlight, of course, deserves a post all its own...

  1. Kinda a cheap shot @ Floyd. He has had death threats, I guess if YOU had those YOU would want the "woflman" watching out for you too.

  2. Looks like the "wolfman" isn't the only one looking out for Floyd. No offense intended.
