posters of racers/teams

Almost all the cycling posters that I see available for sale on Ebay and, e.g., allsportsposters.com are of Merckx, Armstrong, various Tours de France, etc. Where do you all go to get your posters of _other_ racers (the Saturn Cycling Team, David Millar, Susanne Ljungskog, etc)? Should I just write to their corporate sponsors?
Nothing against Merckx and Armstrong, of course, but there are other champions out there, and I need something to cover the hole in my wall.

The new Velonews has a cheap 'lil fold out poster of a grimacing Tyler Hamilton on his TDF stage win.

Nothing fancy but it's going up in my office.

You might be able to buy prints off the grahamwatson.com web site.

Thanks, spexy -- I had just bought that issue of Velo News with the Hamilton poster, which is what made me curious to know where I could get other racers' posters. I had also already visited Graham Watson's site. There is a good amount there.

What's interesting is that I contacted Saturn to ask them whether or not they have posters of the Saturn Cycling Team, or even of individual team members. Three days later, I got an email reply that the team is not considered "promotional", and so no photos or posters would be available for sale...

Bizzare. That makes no sense. Consider that Once has publicly claimed that they have so much name recognition and caché now in Spain that they no longer need their team. Not promotional? Bah!

Oh well. Time to take the bike magazines to the corporate photo copier.
