Hotitude - World's Style

PrintThe Worlds are going on this week. The U23 Chrono was yesterday and the Women's Chrono was ridden this morning. I think PopUp is going to be adding some screen shots for the men to enjoy and I hope he does as a hotitude thread for all is what we aim for here at the lovely Cafe!
With no Benna, Fabian, or George... the list goes on, I think we need to keep this open to shots of those we wish were there as well as those who are. Have fun posting! Pics in the thread always welcome but make sure to try and credit the source when you can. Enjoy!!!

And of course to get things going...
Here’s some good luck headed Michael’s way for a good ride!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Oh he's such a cutie is Michael Barry. So nice.
Have you read his Postal Bus book? (I’m having a bizarre mental block and can’t remember the exact title. Long day…)
Own it and I have read it through at least twice,
possibly 4 or even 5 times if I piece together all the times I picked it up and read a chunk here and there.
I’m fan of his writing as much as his riding.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
A winner’s smile (LADIES TT SPOILER)
it’s not so easy to get a champion’s jersey (MEN’S U23 SPOILER)
He does not look at happy as I would
think a world champion would be. Are all the World’s jersey’s pull overs?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
It does look a little like the things one got at school sports day.
Actually, I should rephrase that: It looks like the things that other people got at school sports day. Running was so not my thing!
I do aim to please but I blame Jens for this one.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Well.... maybe not...
but if Jens wasn’t already assuming there was one in the works….
I could not possibly let him down and not start one up.
I am certainly happy to see some nice pics to help us through our week. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Does anyone else think
that he has a little bit of a Ray Liotta thing going on?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
give him those electric blue eyes, and maybe

Plenty of hotties left.
There are so many more hotties at the worlds, even with no Benna, pippo etc.. to name just a few:
Philippe Gilbert (my tip to win, and we he smiles, you just melt and would do anything)
Tom Boonen (can never go past a great shot of Boonen, and he’s a bad boy))
Marcus Burghardt (pheww)
Christophe Le Mevel (tight ass)
Alessandro Ballan (omg)
Schleck Brothers (mmmm)
and then theres my favorite Aussies, Adam Hansen and Robbie..
OK need to stop, hers just a few, have to go to work, so photos to follow soon.
Welcome aboard girl!
And please, by all means, feel very free to post as many pics of Adam Hansen as you’d like. I may need to help with that too.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
lol, pictures pleez, pictures
you can’t tease us this way :-P
Ballan’s bike position totally kills it for me. Cutey off the bike, but god awful on it.
the Schlecks
A bit on the thin side, even for cyclists, but they do take good pictures now and again.
Frank:
Andy:
The obligatory Curacao shot:
OMG You have made my day!!!!!
I was just about to go to work then these pop up… ahhhhhh I’m sure Frank and I will marry one day…. I met them in France this year, and not only are they hot, they are funny, and Frank is such a charmer..
BTW I’m can’t seem to add any of my own photo’s, it keeps asking gor URL address, am i doing something wrong..
where do you have your photos parked?
If it’s just on your hard drive, you need to post them somewhere on the internet first, then get the url of their location by right-clicking and choosing “Copy Image Location.”
If you don’t have a web site of your own, there are plenty of free hosting sites out there.
Oh jesus that's the most
gratuitous moose-knuckle I’ve been forced to scroll past on PdC yet.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
I think CrashDan is just jealous that we have yet
to include him in on this one. Send pics Dan and would happily post you as well. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
My pics are out there...
… y’all know where they are. I, for one, am not gonna get sucked into self-hottitude-promotion in front of a room full of women. Previous experience suggests that way only leads to pain and a couple of dollar bills stuffed into the waistband of my jeans.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
You need to take more self portraits for us to make this easier.
Although please feel free to take more sunset pics. The one after the duststorm is very peaceful.
And here’s our our hotitude right here at the PdC….
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Something for the boys out there...

Thomas Lovkvist
and here is Lovkvist giving us four for the price of one. Lovkvist, Cavendish, Hincapie and Ciolek.
Here are some for the ladies From ToM
Cavendish
The Younger crowd, Michael Van Stayen Rabobank – U23 Squad
A few of the crowd favorite Dominique Rollin including a special shot for a few ladies on my Team ;)
Ivan Dominguez
And Missouri’s Own Brad Huff
"...The mind has to rule the body and tell the body, shut up and do what I tell you to do..." Jens!
Great pics and such fun memories!
I hope you still plan on writing about being a marshall. I won’t harp much though as I still have 2 stages to go back and write up of my own. I think we’d all love to hear about it with some fun details, even if we have to wait a bit.
The 2nd pic of Rollin has my friend and her husband in it. I still find it funny how many times we crossed paths at this thing. The note on the fan mascot was great and it still cracks me up in asking for the clydesdale of the group! ha!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I was planning on working on it last weekend but
then got sick and so have just barely dragging myself to work and home. I will do it this weekend as well as sorting out all my photos and labeling them. Gives me an excuse to try out the Aperture program I picked up last week before I got sick
"...The mind has to rule the body and tell the body, shut up and do what I tell you to do..." Jens!
Oh... and I hope you feel better soon.
being sick sucks. I’m dealing with a sore ankle from a dumb move working out on Sunday and add in being run down from a lot of hours at work, the allergies almost seemed like a cold. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Here's a shot of Tuft Looking a little shy
during an interview. Nice Crowd Too :)
"...The mind has to rule the body and tell the body, shut up and do what I tell you to do..." Jens!
He has that cute shyness about him like Michael does.
He was fun at the finish.
They had him up on the stage for awhile talking about himself and the other riders.
It was good fun.
OH… and you have Lyne in your shot! How cool!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Yeah, just noticed that as I was looking at some of the photo's
"...The mind has to rule the body and tell the body, shut up and do what I tell you to do..." Jens!
Might I also be permitted to mourn the absence of the cutest smile in the peloton?
.jpg)
Igor, we hope the collar bone is healing nicely, with much love x ;-)
Nice, but I thought I'd better redress the lack of Benna.
I hereby post my favourite interview of all time. I have no idea what he’s saying but that’s entirely beside the point.
http://mediacenter.gazzetta.it/MediaCenter/action/player?filtro=Video&testoRicerca=bennati&pagina=2&passo=7&uuid=5ebae644-1d0b-11dd-ac8d-00144f02aabc&navName=1&provenienza=REDAZIONE
He was sunning himself prior to race in Adelaide..
Well i just walked up and asked for photo… didn’t want to disturb him too much, so i took the pic.. It is my favorite shot from the TDU, except my photo with Philippe…
Andy - SWEET...

You made me laugh so much…. how funny our minds are filled with HOT, EURO, TIGHT, SHAVED and SEXY men….. Thats why i love cycling LOL…. My dreams are filled with not one but a few, but i did have a few dreams come true this year..
I am usually too scared
to visit the Hotitude threads but I must say the Podium girls have been outstanding …..
Carry on

We try to include a little something for all...
but really, can you go wrong with a thread of great pictures of some of our favorite riders? I think not. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."

OK then, Don't these guys look hot in Pink..
And yes Benna anytiime is good… Just thinking Liquigas has had a very HOT team this year…
Wouldn't you like to pull up to this service station!! Oh yes please fill me up..
Photo coutesy of cyclingnews, i think, i got it from facebook…
Awww AV! I've just melted again.
Excitingly, I’m getting a new bike, but I REALLY can’t afford one like his. Shame :-(
Oh, I have missed so much hotness!
I have been sick for about 4 days with a cold/flu thingie, yesterday was the worst. I slept for about 20 hours. I only woke to eat. Ugh. I hate coughing!
I am still not well but can at least stay awake for a few hours at a time. Hoping I’ll make the World RR tomorrow morning.
Fabian even though not racing :-( is so HOT.. and when he talks....hhmmmmmm

I think he may have gone over the edge
with this look: http://weblogs.vpro.nl/hollandsport/files/2008/09/p1010037.jpg (link because photo too large to embed).
nice, erm, cleavage
heh, not sure that look works. but he is a hotty.
the things i miss by wandering off the grid… sheesh.
Who to chose?
Pippo for me, though not with the silly plaits he had in his hair at MSR! That’s one nice podium though!
Never can go past a Boonen no shirt shot, ohhh those abs i want to lick...LOL
Photo thanks to Louise , OREC, not sure about originally..

One of the hottest butt shots we have and it was taken by Clydesdale. Now that is just so worth a few giggles. :-)

Yes, fine idea. It should most certainly be done.

Thats funny, I recently lost my whole desktop computer... i was in shock...
Luckily, i just purchased new laptop, and was smart enough to burn a few cd’s of photos… But also paid a bit of money and my documents were recoveredso lucky, but shit thank god), and are now safely backup my stuff every couple of weeks on an external hardrive….
I would be devastated if i lost my photos ( I’ve paid too much money to do the things i have done again, plus i would never get some of them back), there are so many memories, i also have so many videos as well with just as much fun on them..
If Lyne wants to set up a Hotitude - Cross Style
thread, I am all for it. I thought Drew was supposed to put up some pics from his race last weekend. We totally could’ve jumped and hijacked that but I have yet to see it unless I’ve missed it being away most of the week. I’m headed to a local Cross race on Sunday so if nothing is up by then, I’ll start one. (Horrible job but someone needs to stay on top of it. LOL!)
I think come November the Rear of the Year thread is a requirement. It will give us something to do between training camps and holidays. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Can we start the thread now, not November..I already have a few shots... LOL
Well i have been saving them for a rainy day… It just happens my camera points and i shoot…
Stop Hotitude thread still going - Pippo no shirt,
Don’t care how dirty he is, damn i want that….. He is a charmer too, i just smile everytime i see a photo of him… Great story i’ll tell one day.. and video footage… MWUUUAHHHH to you Pippo
Courtesy briko and steephill..
I'm also wondering how can we contact pers on here without everyone knowing...
LOL, not that i’m aiming for anyone…. but it would be good to make personal comments to specific people
Some people have emails on their profiles.
A couple of people (there may be more but I don’t know) are on Facebook too. I’ll write you a message over there…
There really ought be a PdC Facebook support group.

This may be a stupid question
but as a guy I’m not qualified to make the call.
Why isn’t Christian Vande Velde getting any love? I wouldn’t mind looking like him.
I can work on that. Been out of things for a few days
slowly crawling back and all the threads I’ve started reading today are not helping my dizziness. I get the room to stop spinning and this place has it started all over again…. oucha.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Am I too old?
Some of the pics in this thread are great (especially those of Pippo just above) but most of the guys in this thread are way too young for me. Sure, Andy Schelck is verrry cute, but I could never call him hot! it would feel wrong somehow, if you know what I mean.
Any pics of hot guys aroud my age? I’m the same age as Di Luca (my kind of hottie – and YES of course I know he is officially shady so I shouldn’t like him but I can’t help it. Like the way he rides – and looks.)
Valverde is fairly shady too but I'm sooo in love with him!
Sometimes a girl can’t help it ;-) How old is Quinziato? Older than some of the others I think. Di Luca though, yes, I can see the attraction there…
Ya just gotta love bad boys, don’t ya? They’re so much more … enigmatic :)

totally agree with you
about Valverde. He is one of my favovorites too. Quinziato was born in 1979 so I think I’m allowed to like him too, he’s not much younger than me.
this reply-thing is confusing...
I was replying to Albertina’s post just below my original post, but my comment ended up way down here.
Oh well, maybe one day I get the hang of posting here…
This where those weird Dutch cycling anorak sites come in handy. On this one, you can eliminate cyclists who are too young for you. Not that I’d ever tried doing that before you posed your question. Though I think doing too many searches using just the date parameter could probably bork that site. Guess the coder just never considered the ends to which the query might actually be put. Though it’d take quite a leap of logic to think of designing a cycling db being used like a dating site … I wonder why no one’s nailed that angle yet …

Hmm, interesting.
I applied my parameters but on a quick glance through not many took my fancy. My Mum always said I was too picky.
thanks for the link fmk, but
I found way too many cyclists suitable for my age. How am I supposed to know if they are available? Or hot? Didn’t see any pictures there…
There are little pictures on the top right of the individual riders' pages.
But yes, there should be a regularly updated database of SINGLE cyclists ;-)
database of SINGLE cyclists?
excellent idea!
And about that link fmk posted – my problem was that my search found so many cyclicts I didn’t really have time to check their individual pages… so didn’t see the pictures.
Also, just noticed I wrote Andy Schelck, obviously meant Schleck. Note to self – don’t drink wine while posting here.
I think they are ALL taken....
was kidding a bit about the single db. I don’t really think I’m going to end up with a hot professional cyclist ;)
…would be nice of course, but sometimes a girl has to be realistic
Yeah, that's why the age difference doesn't bother me
Even if they were up for a little of the ol’ Mrs. Robinson, I’m happily married and monogamous, so it wouldn’t be happening in any case. Which I figure removes any of the guilt from looking.
I really don't mean to be critical,
but doesn’t the age difference bother you at all while you’re looking?
I’m actually glad if you can think that the young riders are hot, but I just feel weird if I start to drool over someone really young.
I guess about five years younger than me are ok, anyone younger than that I start to feel I could be their mother (obviously not really their mother, but…)
Mehh, who cares about age...
Hey my saying is “your only as young as the many your feeling”, and if that happens to be a HOT professional cyclist, then i’m there..
and never say you can’t be with one, things do happen… someone has to be with them…
Just brings back fond memories...
Including some very recent ones of my bike commuter spouse. (Cyclng keeps Dutch boys very…youthful.)
If I have to find someone my age
I’m going to be limited to the DSs, and not the ones who just quit the peloton.
I'm really sorry, I never meant to say that other people had to feel the way I do...
I’m glad you can enjoy the hotitude of the young riders. I was really only asking for pictures of some of the more mature guys.
Surely some of you have hot pictures of riders who have turned thirty?
oh yes he does
thanks for the pictures majope!
yep, it really suits them!
are you planning to see him in the near future?
You guys are bad...
Maggie has this on C’s fan club page too. Swiping pics from their sites… you girls. ha ha.
By the way, this one is from 2002 in Boulder at the end of the season. They (C, Leah, Michael, and Dede) went hiking and they took the pic. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I thought she dumped him?
And I don’t think age really is an issue for him. So long as you look like his Mom, you’re in with a chance.

Exactly, such nerve that woman had :D
BTW, I’d appreciate if you had said ‘one’ instead of ‘you’ as I’m a guy, and though I’ve always ended up cheering for Armstrong(even in the Basso years) I’m just not comfortable with taking the next step.
Oh my, never thought I’d feel compelled to picture google Armstrong’s mother. Nor would I’ve guessed she was a blonde.

Apparently his ex left with the washing machine. Not the washing machine man. The actual washing machine.

after reading the interview for a second time..
Yep i’ll take that offer up, i’ll water his banana plant :-) and he loves shopping, something i do so well.. LOL. Just going to google to check out age..
Nicolas Goes To Dixons
- Oh excuse me, I’m looking to buy a washing machine.
- Certainly sir. Have you considered this 56" HD-ready plasma model manufactured by Philips?
- Wow! I’ll take in. And sign me up for your fabulous five year warranty when you’re at it.
I hate to think what he used to bring back when his mother would send him round the shops for a litre of milk and a loaf of bread.
