Looks pretty bad. Can someone explain to me exactly what this is, how it forms and develops, etc..? Looks like it could happen to any of us.

Sorry about the link, looks like there is no absolute link to the picture. It's the 5th picture on the 5th row on the set of pictures on that site. It's a picture of a competitors legs, with what looks like damaged blood vessels.

It's not damaged blood vessel. It's called varicose veins, read up on it.

"Varicose veins are more common in women than in men, and are linked with heredity[6]. Other related factors are pregnancy, obesity, menopause, aging, prolonged standing, leg injury and abdominal straining"
In his case, it looks to me a result of genetics and other factors, I'd find it hard to believe varicose veins developing consistently on cyclists overexerting themselves.
