Nice, huh?
I can't quite make my mind up if he is leaning back against a wall, or lying down on the floor.
I thought it would be safer to keep it this way up and not offer you the lying-on-the-floor option in case Certain People (you know who you are) got carried away.
Talking of photos, bit of a disappointment, I asked Graham Watson for permission to use some of his photos here, and he refused. Well, technically, his company refused.
Shame, he had a lovely one of Fabian after Oman, all sweaty and looking as though he was definitely thinking "Le'ss go home, le'ss go home!"
I hadn't realised, when I approached him, that he seems to be the official Team Schlux photographer, oops! Possibly he thinks he's too "big" to allow fangirls to use his photos? Perhaps he's never looked at Tumblr where everyone just clicks and copies? Oh well, we'll have to hope that nice Mr Christian Kemp gets some new photos this season.
Actually, I was just looking at the Team Schlux site, and in the gallery selection, if you go to Andalucia stage 2, photo number 5 (sorry, I would just put it here but the photographer wouldn't give permission) you can see tufts of hair sticking out through the helmet, which is sooo cute.
Jakob isn't there, so presumably he handed over the crochet hook to one of the neo-pros, along with a lesson in how to pull the hair through for maximum fangirl-appeal.
Now for a horrible thought, and it's not my idea but actually originated with LLB: there's a bit of a design flaw with the Team Schlux kit.
Typically, looking for a photo to illustrate this problem, I couldn't find any shots of the team from the rear en masse, it's a shot I've seen quite a few times in the TV coverage - what little there has been! - but not many stills of it.
However, from this photo of one rear, I think you can see what he means. They seem to have, er, put a bottom on their bottoms!
