I'm sure he'll be thrilled with this photo, which very much seems to capture the thrill of standing in a cold, muddy field in Flanders

All those happy smiling faces, really sells the excitement of road racing.

Road racing? That's the annual Wettbewerb im Nackt-Frittenwerfen (naked frite throwing competition.)
Edit : I asked for English-Flemish translation but just noticed that I got English-German. I like it though. Nackt-Frittenwerfen! 😀
Can't be Chipps the person in the picture isn't wearing Tartan Lycra or something similarly "interesting"...
Good grief, that is an impressively sized zimmer frame...does it encase the casualty completely or is that what goes in front of the poor individual???
Stop being horrible,that's a VIP support platform,they don't give them out to just anybody.
He's contemplating his own annoyance at leaving his STW bottle opener at home and having to borrow an MBR one.
Corporate hat though!
I think I understand the facial expression
the look of a man forced to listen to nonstop Europop at precisely 154dB?

Somebody has given him lager
Worse! Jupiler!
Roll up roll up
Come take a walk up the orange carpet to meet Chipps*

Chipps has the wrong tool for the job if he wants the trails to come alive.
Corporate hat though!
Can't believe I didn't suss that - I'd even got the the point where I was wondering why he had a Wrangler hat on!

I just want to know if they refer to him as Frites over there.

That's possibly the greatest pun I've seen on here.

Would it not be 'Frittes'?

I swear to God I read this initially and thought there was a publication called c**ting news.
I'm disappointed in myself and the fact there isn't.

I can only assume from the silence of the editorial team that Chips should have been “working from home”?

The disciplinary committee is in session right now...
Nice spot!
In my defence…
1. It was blimmin’ cold I did actually know Will Jones was taking the pic…
2. We’re all watching a big screen (in a non-VIP bit at the top of a climb) - the race was about 45 mins away.
3. It was delicious Kwaremont beer. It was just before noon though
4. It was a Sunday, so technically I wasn’t at work 😊
The one week I don't read FGF on the day and it's the one I'm in... 🙄
Thanks to Amanda for TOTW (since surely Chipps wouldn't be so narcissistic) and to Chipps for the photo gallery from his not-at-work at the races
For some reason whenever I see that picture, this tune plays in my head, can't quite put my finger on the association....
