[Closed] and then somebody always turns up in a Sky Kit

I like how he's clearly borrowed that bike off someone about a foot shorter than him!

Who is it?

I'm not sure either, but he's not staring at his stem.

If you zoom in, it says Porte down his ribs.

It's Richie Porte, Froome's right hand man from the tour.

Oh yeah, didn't notice that.

clue his name is on his jersey

Is it actually him? He looks fat

He looks a bit out of shape frankly, I wasn't convinced. But it does look like him and he's Tazmanian, which fits with the op's location.

I think it says starboard on the other side though.

yep it was he was in a team for the local 6hr race, nice guy out (or at least back at the coffee shop next to where the missus works) most mornings over winter on the pinarello.

If he's fat then I'm obese!! 🙂

I know what you mean though, he's not at tour weight.

he even has sky socks

It's his legs too, no definition. Considering you can normally see every sinew!

And the fact that his jerseys pulling up round the back cus of his belly! Fair one tho, hitting the cappuccinos hard.

Isn't it recommended behaviour in the off season? Relaxing the regimen I mean.

so much love in here 🙂 he was out with some mates having fun the photo was taken after the finish line at the end of the race so he was chilling. Just a surprise to see him on the MTB

I think it says starboard on the other side though

Noob! 😆

Nice to see Porte having some down time which is very much deserved! Shame he happens to dress like a MAMIL though 🙂

Surely it would say Starboarde?

In the northern hemisphere the port is the left side, maybe it's the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere, a bit like whether the water runs clockwise or anticlockwise down your plug hole.

I guess it must be difficult to maintain 4% body fat all year!and probably needs the extra energy when training, so maybe the to pork up a bit when off season.

imagine the end of season chow down drink up, lets go boyss yeahhhhhhh

He isn't a little fella though is he.

I think this jersey might be a little more appropriate:

I saw a wee fella out in full sky kit the other day, chuckled about Mamils, and then realised he was shifting and it was JTL. Turns out he lives a couple of miles away.

Probably getting his last few rides in before they ask for it all back.

If it does then he's put his jersey on back to front.

Please tell me those pie Jerseys actually exist somewhere...... Please! 😀

You can get a Pukka Pies jersey somewhere - thought I might get one, it'd be the closest I'll ever get to being 'sponsored'. (Shame the payments are all going the wrong way mind..)! 😆

Anyway, leave that Ritchie Portly alone..

A lot of atheletes yo yo their weight and condition. I stood behind Christine Ohurugu in a queue for a hotdog once. When some chap said to her half jokingly "should you be eating that" she quipped - "I've just started my off season".

I quite liked the idea until I got murdered on a club ride this morning. :-/

But my name down for a Pie jersey, as long as its not made by Foska. all their stuff is too race snake to fit me.
