Hi guys,

I am casting about for the picture from last year's Tour where Tyler Hamilton is sitting down after a stage with his jersey open. It's the one where you can see how really emaciated his upper body is, almost concentration camp looking.

I have tried cyclingnews and picturesport.com and can't locate it.

Anyone recall where it might be?

Many thanks

Not sure if this is the one but should bring up the "hunger effect" quite nicely :D

Give thanks to Google. Just type in "tyler hamilton" under Images. You'll see it coming up among the many pictures...

That's exactly the one I was looking for! Didn't even think to try google.

Cheers.

No offense to Tyler, I think he is a wonderful rider, I have only heard good things about him, and I am sure his weightlessness helps his riding, but he is lucky he did not break both collar bones, his ribs and his arms. I know he is a tough individual, but it looks like any fall could be catastrophic.

Ok check out the size o' tha noggin compared to the size o' the body. I bet it's real hard for him to stay that light. It isn't natural. Not with a physiology like that.

That is *not* what he normally looks like. That picture was taken in the middle of the hardest part of the tour. Everyone was looking like a skeleton, and nobody was trying to look like that.

Racing for three weeks is hard.
