when bad hair happens to good cyclists

the tour de france ended today and spaniard carlos sastre of team csc saxo bank won. that's all fine and well, but i am so very disappointed and grossed out. why?

this is alejandro valverde of caisse d'epargne. he is the spanish national champion, an early favorite to win the whole thing, and one of the better looking professional cyclists. wouldn't you agree? never mind that he is a spaniard and is most likely very smarmy.

then he took of his sunglasses and his helmet and this is what he really looks like:

so gross!!

he has a white man jerry curl, except he has no hair left to jerry curl! does he not have any good friends or relatives that will tell him to just shave it all off?? perhaps i will send an anonymous letter...
