eh, close enough.....the question's a bit vague, I guess

It's supposed to represent to exact moment of the beginning of the end for LeMond (he's getting dropped on the Tourmalet, 1991), and the "beginning of the beginning" for Indurain.

Jeez, I thought that was Hampsten in the Motorola gear

I thought the exact moment of the beginning of the end for Lemond was when he got shot. :D

I'll stick with the Belgian theme. Freddy Maertens has a younger brother who was a pro cyclist. What is his name?

before we proceed...who IS that Motorola rider?

The photo's a bit crap...sorry

Was Armstrong there in 1991? I'm not sure who it is

Looks like Hampsten to me.

Here is the 1991 Motorola Lineup.
71 HAMPSTEN Andrew (Usa)
72 ANDERSON Phil (Aus)
73 BAUER Steve (Can)
74 BISHOP Andy (Usa)
75 CARTER Mike (Usa) hd.12°
76 KIEFEL Ron (Usa)
77 LAURITZEN Dag-Otto (Nor) np.19°
78 YATES Sean (Gbr) np.16°
79 ZIMMERMANN Urs (Sui)

Not sure who it is, but it sure ain't lance!

Marty

For some reason I was thinking '93.

Marc Maertens was a pro ...seven years younger than Freddy....

Nup.....Andy Hampsten. Lance was still amateur at this time to ride for the US at Barcelona.



edit:

The riders in the photo are:

Claudio Chiappucci
Miguel Indurain
Greg LeMond
Charly Mottet
Gianni Bugno
Andy Hampsten
Luc Leblanc (maillot jaune)
Gerard Rue

Flaneur is up.

sorry for jumping in so late, guys............

What is the family link between Britain's two greatest roadmen of the 60's- Barry Hoban and Tom Simpson?

Barry's wife Helen is the widow of Tom Simpson.

Laggard............. consider yourself kissed by the podium girls;-)

Has the quiz thread died??

Pity. :(

Bump. Somebody please say it ain't so.


I'm sure that once he has recovered from his podium intervals, Laggard will serve us some more food for thought. Won't he?

oops. i'll have a q in a couple hours.

c'mon guys, we need something to pass the hours now
that Lance has retired and Tyler is guilty. . .

Hey hey hey. Mind your turn, pal. :)

What British rider dropped out on the second stage of the 1937 TDF?

sorry, I thought you guys were desperate for a question

Bill Burl dropped out on the 2nd stage.
Pierre Gachon (canadien) dropped on the first stage

Marty

Lotek's turn.

Track question.
This rider had 2 successful track careers.
His comeback was at age 51.
Who was he, and what year was the comback?

Marty
