Do not mess with Lance

These photos are from yesterday's Tour of California bike race. I copied from photographer's website.. Tim DeWaele. I felt guilty, til I saw them on a zillion other blogs. and since I'm sure my loyal following of blog readers don't read those other biking blogs.... I offer you these.

The dude in the costume is the "Yellow Devil" the back of his shirt says "Live Clean" . Yellow and Live.... references to Lance's winnings and his LiveStrong cancer campaign.
The pitchfork made of syringes alludes to doping, that Lance NEVER tested positive for. Anyway, this clown thought he would run along side Lance and the peloton.

Lance spies the dude


Lance shoves the dude (without missing a beat)
(I practically crash just taking a drink from my water bottle)


Dude falls into the snowbank

Dude hopes his wife doesn't read this blog.

We hope there's no yellow snow remnants.
