I took a photo of him at the Draai van der Kraai post-Tour crit in Rosendaal after the 1996 Tour chatting to a local bit of crumpet.
He didn't like me doing that.

One Carrera, one Banesto. I think the Carrera rider was a Venezulean called Leonardo Sierra or something, some Bike Forums trainspotter out there will know. From what I remember, the blue started over some racial abuse....."new world Spanish-speaking white trash" or to that effect.

another classic Sheldon, a bit weak this one I thought.
He does know quite a lot of stuff about bikes though, I ordered from him a few times for some more obscure items.
