Enjoy. :)

Fantastic. We used to spend 30' a week on the bike just practicing salutes. And of course playing the guessing game of all time great salutes.


Not a big fan of the one hander. It's almost anti climatic. Think Fast Freddie in the Giro a few years ago, when he was the only sprinter to beat Ale-Jet during his run of 9 stages or something. Freddie really screwed up his chance at proper photo glory for the history books.

Keep checking the blog, I might have some additional ones in... :)

I think it was alright. It was a pretty tight finish after all.
