de Vlaeminck in the snow
I recall seeing a picture on the Internet of a rider, I think Roger de
Vlaeminck, riding solo up a mountain pass. The singular thing about the shot was the fact that the roadway was carved out of the snow such that the rider appeared against a huge wall of snow. My guess is that it was the giro in the Dolomites. It was a very striking image, but I can't seem to find it again. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks, Andrew Karre |

Interestingly enough, I was just looking at Yuzuru Sunada's website. He
just updated it with a bunch of amusing photos from his archives. Check out the ones devoted to "Bad Weather". www.yuzurusunada.com |

It is one of the passes in a GT race I believe and the snow is about 30' deep and almost a sheer cliff down to the road. I remember driving a car through a place like that somewhere, one time, but I can't remember where. |
