Today's show features the "pharos"
oh boy, this could get weird

And bad singing
wouldn’t be a good show without it
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."

Hey guys :-)
Sounds like the music is going to be splendid today. Or should I say, all night long! ha ha.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
wow!
is that how it’s been the whole time? I WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU…ALL NIGHT LONG!

The schedule lists twice - the women's 4-day race.
Any race in particular? Looks like the madison is going on now.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
looks like the juniors are on now
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
the english schedule is wrong
from what i learnt last night, the dutch schedule has it right. Still lists the same thing twice
Did he just say another bites the dust?
Or is he simply himself getting into the music? I need some zooming in as from this view, it’s not going to keep my attention all afternoon.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Not sure, but this is not exactly a song you want to hear as an athlete
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Morning--er, afternoon, all.
I actually got caught up on some actual work. Okay, it wasn’t actual work, but it was like work (critique group stuff), so I can watch with a more or less clear conscience.
Google is my domestique.
Ditto here.
Busted booty this morning to get as much done as I can so I feel less guilty.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Looking at the schedule...
and thinking, not for the first time, how odd “AA Drink” looks to American eyes.
Google is my domestique.
Here, it's Alcoholics Anonymous.
The road people are AAA (usually pronounced “triple A”).
Google is my domestique.
First they hit the dust and now they are all disturbed
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
He said he would be
I hope he took our advise and is going to skip the show
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
I'm waiting to see the PdC display on the track. :-)
Maybe he can talk them into doing into the lasers. That would be cool.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I wonder if he's standing right now
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Oh my gosh... choices
do I watch with you all or watch the MacWorld Keynote Live? My head might explode with the choices.
You so know you want to be here with us.
On a plus side though, you know we’ll be here all afternoon if you get bored over there. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Okay, I just looked up your KeyNote thingy, and really is there any decision to be made here?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
ha ha.
I actually don’t know that I would “really” care what I used, as long as it works. If I learned my way around a Mac I’d probably enjoy it. I had loads of friends tell me I would have nothing but issues with my window’s vista stuff and I have yet to have problems and I’ve had the laptop almost a year.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
The show is slotted really early today isn't it?
I thought it was like late afternoon.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
At 21.45 local
that would be 2.45 for you, 1.45 for me, so a bit earlier than usual
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Dekker quote of the day
On why he’s doing this: “In order to torture myself with something I totally can not. And I can tell you: I can not.”
Article here. Google Translate here. I’ve yet to get a translated article to show up properly, so you’ll have to put the two together yourself (if you need to).
Oh, and for those who missed it, Dekker after his win yesterday here.
Google is my domestique.
Don't know if they're at all similar in the Netherlands
but my mom used to make turkey croquettes out of leftover Thanksgiving turkey, ground up and made into a kind of meatball, then rolled in breadcrumbs and fried and served with gravy.
Google is my domestique.
She used to make potato croquettes, too.
Think really smooth mashed potatoes in the middle, bread-crumbed and deep fried. The turkey croquettes were pretty smooth in the middle too, so meatball isn’t a good description except for shape.
I think it’s lunch time…
Google is my domestique.
I so heart google tranlsation..
For men with flexibility and steerage.
The outsider of this year is Thomas Dekker, the man who last year came the news more than any Dutch cyclist too. Even without cycling. He is certainly the biggest name on the poster of the Rotterdam Six. Thomas Dekker close – that people want to see. That tongue from the mouth, which has long brown curls, which flashy silver shoes. The class from which drips, she drooling.
I so think I chose the wrong languages to use to translate.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
And.... he's doing it for beans and bacon. Too funny.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I adore automatic translators.
Babel fish can be counted on to make even more of a mess of things, especially since it gives up easily:
That tongue from the mouth, which curls long bruine, who flashing zilveren schoentjes. The class which drips there as from, does them dribble.
But you can usually get the gist. Usually.
Google is my domestique.
Hey Zoe... I'll save the last dance for ya. ;-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
heh. I am here now. My video is choppy though
(probably a lot of work people using my bandwidth right now.) Damn them.
That's okay, as I too am slacking.
I just realized my membership at ctv is still going strong and includes the UCI stuff so I have a crap load of Cross races I get to watch at some point. With Trebon, Powers, Shriver, Driscoll, Wells, and Matter racing, I so want to check out the video’s. I watched one the other weekend via a free stream I found but I’m truly now in heaven. :-) 6 days and Cross. Sweet!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Good afternoon Bruce :-)
Relaxing before dinner?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I've now paused my cross stuff and wrote a huge post it note to myself
to log on there at night when I want to chill out. An hour of that would be a nice evening wind down.
And back in time to see these guys fluffing up their hair to look good for the pics. Cute.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I'm back, what race are they on?
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Morning people!
Oh, stand up? But I just sat down here! OK…
Did I just see some argey-bargey?
Alcoholics Anonymous Drink Women 4 day race
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Could you imagine if it had been AA Cafe night?
How could that ever be?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I think the AA meeting was on day 2
with Franz Bauer singing, that was a good way to sober up
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
And drive the ones who were already sober to drink.
One of those never-ending circles.
Google is my domestique.
This is a madison we're watching so it looks like the english schedule is okay.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I think I need to take a few minutes and close some windows down.
I have so many open I can’t see them all at the bottom. Maybe that will help me with commenting more.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
They don't seem to have the power behind it like some of the guys though.
There was one yesterday I saw that I swear had it been a normal person he would’ve ripped the arm right out of the socket.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Stand up once more huh?....Ok, I shall oblige
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."

They can get the derny drivers as podium guys
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Shut it Santa,we know!
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
I'm with ya Bruce,
other than a few bobbles over the past days, mine hasn’t suffered a bit. Good viewing through out.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Shut it "i'm at work person", we know!
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Testy are we today sweetie?
I think you may need to sit this next one out to let the blood distribute properly in your body. LOL.
(And I only say all this smiling because come the classics, I am not nearly as blessed. I stutter and buffer with the best of them.)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
It must be all that standing
luckily the standing is over in two days
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Let's hope.
Maybe you need a drink. It’s after Noon now so go ahead, have one… or five.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I'll wait for the show
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
That's true. You may need 5 to get through it.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Or 20
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
honestly, the last few days
i don’t think hoy has been trying in the keirin, not employing the usual tatics which is to get on the front and make the pace so high nobody can get round him.
Now as a proud British person, WOOO KENNY
i don't think "letting" people win is the word
Just not trying so hard, he is just not doing the usual tatics that work, so well for him.
Not trying hard=letting others win
doesn’t mean he wants one specific person to win, but he isn’t going for the win so he is letting someone else win
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Gotta be nice to know that the only way you don't win is if you don't want too
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
If only we were all so blessed.
Get huge pay raises, unless of course you wouldn’t want one on a given year. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I see how much faster the men's race is compared to the women's earlier
so hand slinging is harder to do
OMG NO, the announcer just mentioned Franz Bauer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Please dear Santa.... bring us somebody bearable today.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
His elves do that
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Oh darn, just when I have to leave for work.
However will I endure the deprivation?
Maybe have a drink on the way in for those of us sitting through it. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Haaha, after the last few days
Yesterday I just HAD to fish out the ABBA CD to take with me in the car.
Gotta find the Village People and Boney M CDs tonight.
Yes I own them. I am not ashamed to admit it.
I've got ABBA, Village People, Queen, etc all in my ipod.
There are times at the gym or out on a ride where it just works.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Risi and Stam just had a sweet exchange.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Dekker looks lost half the time out there during the 6 day madison sessions.
last time I checked his team is in last place
Did you just see him a short bit ago.
Looks like he’s pedaling into some kind of tizzy. Puzzled look on his face praying to get through yet one more day. Love the kid for trying this though. It can’t be easy when you’ve been focusing on the road.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Evening
I am starting to admire more and more the stamina of these guys. I’m finding it hard just to keep up as a spectator.
Very, very hard to do with your hands tied.
Messes up your balance something fierce.
Er. Or so I’m told.
Google is my domestique.
That's cause the elves are helping, right? LOL!!!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I was going to go somewhere with that Bruce but I chose to be good.
I think I need a beer.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
SuWEET!
Hopefully I won’t blow it before hand. That’s a lot of months in between. tee hee.
If I do make it, can I put in a request early for a certain someone to win a certain race before he retires?
Heck, phrasing that way I think I cover Zoe too!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
well, we are only at Jan 6.
so I need to see how you behave through the year, but so far it looks very good!
:D
He seems to be talking in english quite a bit today too.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
You have no chance of scoring this at home, do you
The cameras followed then Marvulli/Llaneras break all the way around, but I haven’t got a clue who just got a lap.
Hi everyone ! SUNNY DAY!
Sorry I joined so late today I was helping a friend shovel snow off her roof! I had so much fun with you all yesterday! Today I will be in and out , as I am multi-procrastinating today if you know what I mean.
And the last time I heard this one
a derny driver was playing the sax.
Where do you click to get rankings as of end of day 4 ?
Used to be a link you could click I can’t find it today
Nice. I looked the other day and they didn't have anything on it.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I am off multi-procrastinating now during show
anyone else join me, or maybe you join me later ? (Ha Ha) Or are all of you are serious multi-tasking types?
and if..
you use this link to watch http://www.zesdaagserotterdam.nl/tv/ just after the madison the new scores will be displayed.
I would have it down as a straight fight between
Llaneras/Schep and Risi/Stam
I had been cheering for Risi and Stam but I'm doubtful they can make up the points.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
ohhh and looking at the last program it's
SHOW TIME!
Do you know if you search for "Six Days of Rotterdam"
the first google result is PodiumCafe.Com. So cool.
Marvulli/Lampater have been kicking some butt in the Madison rounds.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Ummmmm,,, who is this guy?
I think I know this song? Is this right?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I'd hate to tell you all the stuff they catered in today.
It was bad. I think one could’ve eaten enough calories for the week in this one meal. It was yummy though.
And came with desert. Cheesecake, brownies, or cannolis. Tough decisions.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
okee
I’ll be back in a few. With cookies.
There’s a bakery about three blocks from the Gav Shack. This is not always a good thing.
Was that said
in your very best headmistress’ voice?
I just put up a SECOND LIVE THREAD, for when you decide you want it :-)
No need to switch yet – you’re only at 200 or so posts.
Just you know, anticipatin’
C'mon Maxy!
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Nope... I've marked my territory in Thread #2... it's mine now...
… i hope you guys don’t mind.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
More of a surprise...
Bruce posted that about 20 seconds AFTER the feed showed it. Truly, 2009 is turning out verrry different.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
The gap was there yesterday
Santa is just being nice
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
You missed it you say?
Just wait another race, you can see it again. LOL!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Think of it as a Dutch Pantomime
He’s behind you!
I'm getting sick of standing for Hoy
but I will stand for the sake of humanity
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Building employment karma...
… for the six months of road racing season work slackage forthcoming.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
Clearly...
90% of this thread makes no damn sense. What the hell does “The giant mexican wave followed by Viva Hollandia” mean?
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
You missed 4 days of racing and about 2000 comments
if you want to understand the lingo on here you are going to have to do some serious reading
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
It's far more fun hopping in midstream...
… unless there’s prize money involved, I don’t study nothing.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
and still you probably haven't figered it out yet...
coughIhaven’tcough
but been a lot of fun nonetheless….
Ahhh "The Wave"...
does that mean that the Dodger’s fans in Rotterdam will start throwing Beach Balls around after showing up at Day 2 and leaving at Day 5?
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
The Rotterdam Six Day...
Cycling’s answer to the non-sequitor?
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
Jens Mouris salvages something from the week
A lot easier when you’re riding solo I guess.
I'd love to know
if those two have managed to get a lap between them in the Madison all week.
They did, they did!!!
I think we even commented on it. It was early. Maybe day one or two. They got the fog horn and everything.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
And only the champion.
Darn… that’s Dekker’s partner right ?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
championS, it is plural majope, sheesh
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."

Sorry. My fingers slip sometimes.
It’s one of the many reasons I never race the madison.
Google is my domestique.
Please oh please oh please oh please...
… tell me this involves having a car chasing the riders around the track.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
Hey Phil...
Think CrashDan will want to become part of the “family”?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Oh yes, he would be very welcome
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
He might need to stop all the work outs though.
The boy thinned down a bit this last year. We can just send him to Germany and to Belgium for a couple weeks. He’ll be good to go then.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Yes, the whole "thinned down" thing is unacceptable if he wants to be in our future profession
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
There have been no derny's yet today
I’m going through withdrawal here, I need some derny’s soon or else I will pass out….Help me! I need Derny’s!
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....Ok breathe Phil just breathe
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Babe, sit down. Take DEEP breaths.
Keep both feet on the ground and no standing on this one for you until the color in your face comes back.
It will be okay. It’s just later, still two series.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
STAY SITTING Phil. We need your pulse to come back up before you try standing.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Everyone BUT Phil.
Phil can stand up on the next one.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Risi is not have a good night. He needs to get some rest and kick butt tomorrow.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I just watched a clip from yesterday's derny and I'm good for now
good enough to stand shortly, sorry Nikki standing can’t be sacrificed for anything
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
LOL. Do it at your own risk Phil. We will try to catch you if you fall.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I made it through that one
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Have we cleared up if they both get one or do they have to share it?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
But does the rear window heater still work?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
someone start up that Skoda so Phil can have some good 'ol fumes
sorry Phil one more race before Derny fumes
It's not the fumes I'm craving, it's those marvelous derny drivers
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Hey... did I get the name right yesterday? GH?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
no . . . . and what does GH stand for?
Ok here we go again you guys get to laugh at me cause i don’t know some shortform, I an SO ready today, I am standing already.
I thought it was the initials.
Now I have to go back and reread. Damn. I thought I had it.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Damn I was so darn close but I so have it now.
It would be DP. LOL!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
hahah, trying to fit the key in the door
Actually got a model one from the tour de france caravane
Isn't winning a skoda for a prize
a great reason not to win
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
I love pissing the night away
how about you guys?
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
um, drinking yes,
pissing many times yes too. Pissing the night away?? No way without alcohol or a massive amount of coffee!
Dekker is totally in his road TT position. Love it.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
He is, but I'm not sure he's used to going these speeds for upwards of 6 hours.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
It's the teamwork bit
where he falls down. As learnt in Rabo
Everyone behave.
I’m going on a conf call and I would hate to try and explain why I’m laughing on such a serious call with the boss’.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
After THIS RACE....
Move over to the 2nd thread. We’re over 300 now and it will be a good time to switch. Thanks!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Nikki is multi-procrastinating now anyone else want to join her, or maybe you join her later ? (Ha Ha)
Or are all of you are serious multi-tasking types?
Oh sorry no jokes she is seriously talking with boss
I love your term "multi-procrastinating"
We all are very good at both multi-tasking and multi-procrastinating around here! ;-)
This is so serious... garrrrrrr.
We be waiting for the call leader to join on. Must love these.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Everyone stand up!
and switch to the SECOND THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
Klop and a Klop and a Klop Klop Klop
These two guys are really building up the bonus points tonight.
Yah but they should save some energy
I need them to take a lap or two so my picks get the final standing ovation tomorrow
