Sometimes it’s hard to get a whole organization to a photo shoot. In the case of Leopard Trek it seems that sports director Lars Michaelsen couldn’t make it to the location. So the webmaster at the team did the next best thing – Photoshopped his head onto Torsten Schmidt’s...

From the cyclists to the young girls in the convertible Cadillac and you know what – I love it! Also at the 19-second mark Andy Schleck makes an appearance riding a BMX bike and later does a...
