Picture of the Year: Candidates #1 and #2 (and what is in his left pocket?)

A Cor Vos image of Tom "Tommeke" Boonen (Quick Step) practicing the cyclocross is my favorite image of the year. I saw it on the Pez Cycling News.

My second favorite image of the year is below. Please excuse my obvious bias...but please also tell me what it is in my left back pocket (as opposed to my left front jersey pocket?)?

"It's cool. We don't rip on anyone around here without subjecting them to it directly. You should have been around for what we've been doing to Joe Papp for the past few years. I think we're all your fans here, other than Palachick, who's more of a McCormack man himself."

"Finally, some real feedback ... I really didn't mean it like that and so it seems that I fecked up in the way I wrote it. And by the way, I agree with your "fuck you" sentiment. I really didn't mean it as a try harder thing. What I was trying to get across is the fact that Euro racing is a lot like high school football in Texas. You can be a great player in other parts of the country but since the tradition of football in TX is so deep, even the lesser players' skill levels rise. Thanks for bringing me in, Adam."

"How you gonna leave the man himself out of this conversation?

But it's true. It's part of why talented riders make shitty coaches. They don't realize all the little things the rest of us have to do to be as good as they are."
