Team Photos by Heidi Knighto

Spain is visited by the most stunningly bombastic team in professional cycling.

September 2nd 2008, the Spanish town of Mallorca: Six Mikoyan MiG-35 's, leased via RPM in conjunction with the Russian government, land surfside. These tuned fighter jets (much like the tuned racers piloting them) unload a 500kg laser-guided bomb of handsomeness upon the unsuspecting, but visibly aroused, locals.

Five minutes later the team, dressed in full kit, hit the surrounding countryside for a short, but provocative photo shoot. Much haste was made as Team Wooly Mammoth collaborators and close personal friends, Secret Sphere, were playing a beach concert in Wheelarosa's home town later that evening... So, once strapped back into their MiGs, it was off to San Juan, Puerto Rico with a short stop in La Ceja, Columbia to re-fuel on the white stuff.

Although I agree the pictures of the team look stunning, I still refuse to replace our home page picture:
It is my humble opinion that the picture above is the best picture ever taken. Although we were piloting an older Mikoyan MiG-29 back then, we had a great time chasing bogeys and playing with the boys.
