With only 4 days until the Tour de France starts, I was thinking it was time for the PdC Official Hottitude Thread.
After seeing this Benna photo I thought it best to start the Hottitude Thread for 2009.
photo coutersy off Mark Adams.
Now ladies, and men if you please, go forth and enjoy adding to this thread now and throughout the entire TdF. I'm sure there will be many photos to choose from.

Benna
Dude needs to work on staying upright. He reportedly crashed today about a kilometer from home. He’s okay, just scrapes and bruises. D’oh.
by gavia on Jun 30, 2009 12:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Oh lordy! Perhaps he should ride a tricycle?
Don’t tell me he’s going to wake up with a horribly swollen knee and have to stay at home or something. It’s almost fate! Mind you, I crashed on Saturday while going at about 3mph so I can hardly talk. Landed on my hip but somehow have two ginormous bruises on my thighs…..

But the big theing here is, Benna nees to stop now, how disappointed were we last year when we found out he wasn’t there..

Funny, I wince when I see that pic of Pippo’s back… but still it looks better like that than with that goddamn tattoo he’s got now! I am not in any way averse to ink, but a backpiece ought to be special. The man’s turning into a walking scribble-pad.

And yes, I actually like Pippo’s other tattoos; they suit him, but the one of the back…hmmm. But I gather it wasn’t finished at Roubaix so perhaps I should reserve some judgement…maybe.

These two are my two of my favourite three Spaniards at the Tour, the other being Pereiro naturally. They’re such a cute twosome :) Photo is Tim de Waele. How left out and in the cold does Rebellin look (mwahaha)

I'm partial to Agritubel's Maxime Bouet.
Who, you ask? He’s French, he’s 22 and he already has a contract for next year with AG2R. He has a passion for music and fashion and his idols include Indurain. He’s won some things this year. Stage 1 of the Three days of Vaucluse, won the Les Boucles de l’Aulneand he won the Volta ao Alentejo. Small yes, but looks promising. He looks to be a fairly decent climber, time will tell.

Interesting, thanks for posting that
It’s hard to be taken seriously sometimes, some guy said something to me at the Bethel Crit like “oh i bet you’re just focusing on the thighs”, i was like errm i’m trying to photograph the race. He basically presumed i was there to ogle the men, fairly insulting when that was just a side objective..

Question: Is hottitude inclusive of bicycles?
Sometimes those customized bikes, such as the Pinarello Prince of (and with) Valverde, are better looking than some riders.

the internet is failing me.
I spent half an hour earlier today trying to find a decent picture of Cancellara standing up and facing slightly or completely to the side (needed for a very serious argument about the merits of his ass). Nothing! All that time up on the podium this year, but no full bodies photos of those moments? There was a moment in a video on the official site (when he was heading to his trailer after the thin win on Stage 4), but other than that, no rump in profile. Astonishing.
