Inspired both by a fairly recent post at the Bicycling.com site and the emergence of a new blog based on one of my favorite topics, I've decided to share a few of my favorite cycling hotties. Some of them (possibly most of 'em) are repeats, but I doubt you'll mind much. Heh.
And so, I present to you:

Thirteen Cycling Hotties
(Post-Grand Tours Edition)
1) Nicolas Roche (AG2R Mondiale)
Irish, but was born in France.
A personal favorite of mine for many reasons.

5) Dave Zabriskie (Garmin-Cervelo).

If you search for him on Youtube, you'll turn up loads of amusing clips featuring DZ's rather odd sense of humor. I wuv him.

6) Philippe Gilbert (Omega Pharma-Lotto)
Belgian
There are some folks who say Philippe isn't that good looking. The thing is, when he smiles, he's absolutely gorgeous!

7) Thor Husbhovd (Garmin-Cervelo)
Norwegian.
He seems quite reserved, but I suspect he has a wild side to him.
*oh, yeah*

10) Manuel Quinziato (BMC Racing Team).

And, of course, three of my absolute, tippity-top grade-A faves:
11) Daniele Bennati (Leopard-Trek).
Italian.
I adored him in his previous team kits, but when he was named as a part of L-T, I nearly swooned.
True story.

12) Jens Voigt (Leopard-Trek).
German.
A senior member on this list (Jens is my age, after all), he's still one of the hottest hotties in the peloton. And one of the funniest.
And one of the hardest working.
JENSIE!!!!!

13) Fabian Cancellara (Leopard-Trek).
Swiss.
Did you really think I'd leave my muse off this list?
Just look at him!

And that's this round of cycling hotties wrapped up nice and neat in a pretty little bow.
Now I must go prep myself to watch the UCI Road World Championships.
But you know I won't leave you hanging.
What with Autumn just around the corner...
Ya gotta grab one last splash in the surf!
Ciao for now!
