Looks like Keteleer has his front jersey pockets also full, and Van Est
still has his musette slung over his shoulder.
Great cool day action photo.

> for
> races in Italy). Van Est's jersey is embroidered with tire sponsor
> "Wolber"
> while Keteleer's is embroidered "Clement". Furthermore, Keteleer's jersey
> has two dark stripes around the chest and the sleeves, while Van Est's is
> all one color. Van Est is using wing nuts, while Keteleer has Campagnolo
> quick releases hubs (with "Frankenstein" bolts). Their breakaway

> bike
> lengths ahead of Keteleer.
