And Marvel Didn’t Even Have To Pay Him…

The Tour De France has a new sprinting star: 22-year-old Slovakian Peter Sagan. He’s won 3 of the 6 stages so far in the first week of racing. More than that, his Hollywood victory salutes are winning him worldwide fans. He has cycled across the finish line pumping his arms in the running style of Forrest Gump. But his antics Friday at first flummoxed announcers who thought he was doing a gorilla impression. Of course moviegoers knew immediately what Sagan was up to in his green best-sprinter jersey: “I called this one ‘The Hulk’”:

    Or a tribute to Terrence Malick’s upcoming KNIGHT OF CUPS.

  • He’s got LiquiGas written on the front of his shirt. Perhaps that explains his finish line antics. Keep him away from me.
