Hardman king of classics Sean Kelly like you've never seen him...
Sean Kelly is proving very good value on this Giro d'Italia but today he took the biscuit in this photo; a sublime shot
He's best known as the king of the classics; the hardman out of Carrick-on-Suir who dominated in his day.
But Sean Kelly's softer side has been to the fore on this Giro d'Italia.
He's regaled us with stories of heating up his cold hotel room with a hairdryer for fear of catching a cold.
And he's even gone out on the coffee and ice cream run for his Eurosport colleagues, with mixed success it must be said.
But now one of those colleagues, the former top pro Brian Smith, has captured Kelly in the raw; hanging up his clothes on a make-shift washing like by the side of the road.
Don't lose your sh*t!
We know we've already done a couple of quirky stories today and that some people lose their minds when we do too much fun stuff.
But we just couldn't let this one past.
Sean Kelly, we salute you. In truth, we live for this kind of carry-on!
Getting the ironing done; even The Great One has to do the basics for himself...
