Pic of Lemond winning 1989 World's...what's up with the wheel in their faces?
I've seen that photo a jillion times. It's a great one of Greg winning
in the rain. And poor Sean bursting into tears. (I actually got to watch that one on live TV over in Europe. I was jumping all over the place those last couple minutes of crazy cliffhanger uber-boss-Greg action. It was the best! Any cooler recent finishes?) Well, I just saw a version of that photo that has a spare wheel in the photo-frame right in front of Greg and Konyshev on the rightside of the image. So there must have been a motor just a couple feet in front of those guys going nuts in the rain and it wasn't even the motor with the photog that took that pic. So there must have been at least two bikes right in front of them. But that one on the right is RIGHT in front of them. Here's a link: http://www.msu.edu/~bikes/great-cycl...-screaming.gif I don't recall ever seeing that wheel in an image of that sprint before. Maybe other shots are just the ones that have been used more. Or maybe the wheel gets photoshopped out of the posters? Then I googled for more images of that sprint and couldn't find a thing. Sheesh. Have other World's sprints been contested with vehicles within like 3 feet of the front of the cyclists? Heck, there must've been a draft from those suckers even, big roostertail of water, the works. Crazy. --Jeff Potter http://OutYourBackdoor.com --with whole new snappy website look and tons o' new pics and articles! |
