Kyllingen fra Tølløse

"You need wheels if you want to make deals" wise words from influential English philosophers The Merton Parkas.

A closed bike shop in Newhaven Main Street. The chap in the window is Danish cyclist Michael Rasmussen.

In the 2007 Tour de France with four stages remaining, he was favourite for the yellow jersey in Paris.

However he was withdrawn from the race and fired by his team for "violating internal rules".

Another rider reported that he had seen Rasmussen in Italy in June 2007, a time when Rasmussen claimed to have been training in Mexico and therefore unavailable for drug testing.

He denied the claims at first by then confirmed them but cited "personal reasons" for the deception

In 2012 he confessed to doping throughout his career and retired from the sport
