Alberto Contador Fingerbanging Mt. Etna
“In the background I’d paint Mt. Etna, its cinder cone spewing lava and ash. In the foreground would be Contador himself, resplendent in the maglia rosa, making his signature salute as lava and ash also erupt from his index finger. Beneath his feet would be the blackened lava fields, representing the manner in which he laid waste to his competition, and in the sky there would be little cherubic steaks with wings representing the controversy that still dogs him.”

The best part comes at about half way through.
They’ve got some crazy run-ups at CX Worlds.

“…Is it the fact that your heart pumps more volume than the average person’s, or that your blood turns less acidic when exercising so that you recover faster? No—talent has to do with your capacity for suffering. You just learn to suffer more. In the end, maybe, there is no explaining.
