Since I'm always looking for new ones I thought it'd be cool if I started a thread for people to post their computer backgrounds if they're cycling related (or maybe just something you're proud of as I know there are a few graphic artists in our midst)
To avoid too much space being used maybe post a link to the picture or upload the full size and post a smaller size in the thread.
I'll start off with mine, one of the coolest backgrounds I've yet to find so it'll be on my screen for quite some time, It's also a good quality large image because I have a decent sized (20" wide) monitor it's nice to find something that'll fit.
It's Mark Cavendish and Robbie McEwen (Two cycling Idols) going at it in De Panne I believe.

Hope some people like the idea anyway as most of my ideas on PCMdaily seem to get shot down.
Thanks
Shifty

One of my previous wallpapers was a bigger version of this pic
And I used to have (and love), but now can't find, one photo of the sprint from the same stage as the next one, just before Petacchi threw his arms up (photo taken while he was still sprinting, so he wasn't "hogging" the pic)
My current desktop
2008 pic
Breakaway
Another one
It should be obvious every one of them is from the Giro 
And no, I don't particularly like Petacchi. Simply bunch sprints make for great pics

The days of McCauley in the UK. Just putting in a dig on the far side of the road.
EDIT: Would help if the picture attached, but it didn't so we do it the long way...

Cool stuff guys! I especially like the one that Isso posted with Petachi and Cav, even though I'd rather Cav was winning

my current background is this:
Its some random rider (an ID would be much appreciated, Sean Kelly is the only rider from the old Skil teams I know, and it doesn't look like him) during a muddy Paris-Roubaix in what looks like the early eighties. Paris-Roubaix is my favorite race, and I find that this picture sums it up pretty well.

Speaking of Paris-Roubaix and good pictures for it I came across this one of Wiggins.
Now is it just me or does that picture look like it's been altered? Look at his legs and knees in comparison to his shoes size wise, he looks dis functionally thin.
