Here’s an impressive collection of sunburned noses masquerading as a slightly daft video about the tonsorial grooming habits of members of the Omega Pharma – Quick-Step team.

As you can see from the video, making sure your hair is just right is a vital part of the day for riders in the style-conscious Belgian-based team. You’ve got to look good for those moments between leaving the hotel and pulling on a bike helmet.

It’s especially important when you’re at the Giro d’Italia. The race may not finish in Italy’s fashion capital of Milan this year, but it’s been close enough to remind riders that being immaculately turned out is a vital part of the Italian Way.

However, we don’t want to sound like your mum, lads of OPQS, but if someone scattered you among a dozen similarly skinny regular blokes and asked who was most likely to develop nasal skin cancer, you’d be the ones pointed out.
