RHS - Prostrate at Pie in the Sky after a
killer hot day in Oct '02 following an
arduous Somersby "Bellbirds" ride.
Polyglot Sergey, who hails from St Petersburg
Russia, is obviously knackered,
but not a patch on how he would have felt after completing the crème de la
crème of endurance road rides - 1,200km Paris Brest Paris over 22/24

Post PBP, cause Sputnik is
resplendent in PBP jersey. Pic was taken whilst Sergey visited his
homeland of Russia with the latest model Lada in the background. |

In early, '07 Sergey returned to Australia briefly on a
mission. Over the 4 concurrent w'ends Sergey successfully qualified for the
2007 PBP by completing separate 200km, 300km, 600km and 400km road rides.
In the process Sputnik has lost over 7kgs and is right down to fighting
weight.
Heineken, who has
also peeled-off a lot of weight, recently commented that Sergey is hard to
shake-off on KOM Climbs. The above 4 qualifiers are testimony to
Arno's professional judgement.

St Petersburg. |
