Roadies, Roadies, Roadies. Sigh. Learn how to stand on a damn podium, for jeebus' sake.
The Setting is the podium of the first stage of the Tour of Connecticut. The placings are as follows:
1. Mark McCormack (Colavita Olive Oil)
2 Shawn Milne (Fior di Frutta)
3 Mark Walters (Navigators Insurance)
Caption contest in the comments! Best entry will be placed under the photo. My entry: "While he didn't win on the day, Mark Walters realized that third place on the podium does have some benefits."
UPDATE: The winning caption goes to reader Ben (sorry, e-mailers, you had to post them here) with:
"So that WAS a rocket up his ass after all..."
Congrats, Ben, and next time you're in Atlanta, feel free to claim your prize; A free ride on the Dick Lane Velodrome, provided it's not still broken.

So thats how they keep their hands warm in the North.

Announcer: "So...who is gay here?"
(All of them raise their hands, although Walters keeps a firm hand on the other 'prize')

Peloton Comraderie: First place winner McCormack, so knackered from the race that he teetered on the podium, was graciously steadied by third place winner Walters.
