Alert Slipstream/Chipotle fan Chris Legget wrote from Nevada with this query. Seems legit. What’s the consensus?

Oh God. It just gets worse, doesn’t it. Not only has Zabriskie got a mustache, he looks like Costner. The man whose best film was the one where he played a corpse (that is The Big Chill, for those of you playing at home).

Zabriskie, I beg of you: shave it off, please! It isn’t very aero either.

Can someone update us on Dave Z’s DNF? Did he crash? Is he Ok?

DZ-Keep the ’stach. I’m loving it

Andrea - Actually Z pulled out when it started raining on the final stage of Tirreno. He knew how slick the roads would be and decided it was better to bail than risk getting tangled up in the inevitable crashes.

Keep the stash, it screens out the bugs

All he needs now is a cheesy cowboy hat to complete the look.

There is already a made for tv movie about the behind the scenes of American Flyers. Zabriskie is playing Costner. Farrar will be playing David Grant and Vaughters will be playing the male version of Rae Dawn Chong.

I really like DZ’s “Charles Grodin like” humor. I also believe he would have taken first place in the time trial without the wind resistance of the stache.

Quote from Velonews TOC stage 7 live report:

Dave Zabriskie just learned the reason why bike racers do not grow facial hair: he tries to blow his nose, and it just doesn’t quite go clear of the ’stache. Eeeeew.

eeew

The ’stach must stay! It is definitely aero. Perhaps some handlebars could be added for the Giro?!

I say keep it until the little one arrives. If Randi doesn’t cut it off herself before then! He can get those awesome first pics he wants and then (God willing) it gets trimmed!

It is not commonly known, but Dave Z and Stephen Cozza were featured in a “mustache related comic”…..see it at http://www.mustacheregistry.com/blog/?m=200711
