just a cameo
I’ve got the kiddos to myself all weekend. My wife is getting pre-Flanders revenge.

Who else? Man looks like a washed-up Soap star.

No screenshot of Benna? BAAAAAAAH.
I feel sooo let down!

In the countryside almost being blown backwards.
Did he look good? I shall have to wait for the photos to appear…

Yaaaaaaaaay! I love you Monty!

He knew I wasn't watching.
He had heard reports of me being out on my bike. His spies spotted me. He was mortified.

I am hanging my head in shame.
It’s a bit boring that Leaky make them wear regulation ties and suits though. Individuality is what we are after.

He's trying to remember how to win
Dammit Elk! I don't care if it's your mating season, you are disturbing my peaceful sleep! Just STFU!
You nasty boy. How would you like it if you got injured every second week, eh?
;-)

Is that what we call underachieving these days? :)

I have slammed the door and left the room!

And jammed his finger

followed by a minor panic attack

He will manage to miss the Giro because of it

They are. I am now sobbing (boooooooo hoo hoo hoo...waaaaah)
And I will never speak to them again. Bah.

Oh I'm sorry
is there something I can do to make it up to you?

No.

HA! You just spoke to me
I’m not really sorry…at all, I just wanted to see if you would fall for my trap!

Bah bah bah bah bah

I think you have already mastered the art Frinkster.
Hairy chests ring a bell? ;-)

He runs the Maratona delle Dolomiti
or at least gets to choose which 9,000 people get entries.
What the?!
Does he have a small animal emerging from his pocket?

Looks very bovine from here
Enjoy it for now – you’ll never see anudder one.
the lengths beccos have to go
to disguise themselves from cutlery-wiedling swedes . . .
shocking, really.
Words fail me. That is not Shaun though!

yeah, now seeing the still shot
mmm. pig nose, little sheep hair on top. i donno. bovine? well, at least jens put up the shaun the sheep video.
That guy in the red suit and yellow cravat just destroyed every stereotype I ever had
about Italians being fashionable.
Why the Gaelic music?

Well, there were lots of mountains in that movie.
Maybe they’re hinting that they’re going to throw someone off one at the end of the Giro.
If only Daniel Day Lewis was there ;)

Well Gaelic and Scotch-Irish/Appalachian can be interchanged...
So perhaps the Giro will begin in Kentucky or Tennessee.

Time to check again.
You forgot to include Nova Scotia
Formerly known in some circles as flying dog.
doesn't count... that's one of the places they emmigrated to

For the record, I wasn't denying that the music was Gaelic or Gaelic-influenced
just identifying the source.
It's okay, it was in the last chilometer, He'll get the "same time".

Do you still have nightmares about that fall, Dennis?
No. It was a long time ago. But I did for the first couple of weeks.
Yeah everybody was sprinting out of the building to do something fun

Next year they totally need an official fashion show...
But then Cipollini would torture everyone with his DayGlo ISD designs.

Seems like a very tough Giro
especially the final week, kinda how it should be for the Giro.

I think it's rather a shame. I could use a giggle.

Well I'm going to have a shower. Then I will digest the fashion news. And the small matter of the route.
In that order.

Really not much fashion news I'd say
although Cav at least wasn’t wearing white.

Marino Bartoletti doing his "Swiss Tony" impression
the relationship between last year’s Giro and the mountains had something of the “Coitus interruptus” abput it. This year it really makes love to the mountains.
All these time trials...
It must have been win so that Tony would win!

It's the same circuit they used
for the Worlds in 1984, but in reverse
So.....
They axed the "classics " uphill finishes in favour of more sprinter-friendly stages and backloaded the final week?
Yeah, they want Cav to go home early so Benna gets the Points Jersey.

Thanks for reminding them. Stony silence here :-|

Very hard classic Giro...
For pure climbers…there’s no typical time trials. Sastre and Pellizotti are my picks…
we need
a new name.

A Lovkvist finish?

Ok Sir..
5 things..
1. The finish in Emilia was a top of a hill!! Where is this one Jens?
2. You just put Gesink’s name in a very dubious row… I would watch your back in these loooong Swedish winter..
3 Are you cared?
4 Waaaaaaah
5. And now?
Just trying to help
Ok, let's take this slowly
You all listed names for these kinds of finishes (Fleche, Montelupone, Montepaschi, Emilia etc.) Since you were unable to name a non-doper I said “for gods sake” sort of impatiently since Gesink , who no-one has ever called a doper , just won Emilia on a finish like that.
You asked for it
Gesink was training in St. Moritz after the Tour-abandon.
by Forstoppelse on Oct 24, 2009 5:55 PM EDT up reply actions
So he's either a doper, a Bond-villain or just a guy just training in St Moritz
It should really take more than weak-ass-stuff like that to label a guy a cheat. And also who is the source of this earth-shattering info? Fanini again?
Actually, he said it himself.
Also, he’s from Rabobank. That’s two things – for me, he doesn’t even have to test positive. Definitely a doper.
by Forstoppelse on Oct 24, 2009 7:57 PM EDT up reply actions
The sad thing is that we cycling fans have too much power nowaday
- some journo might see this, might do some conclusions, and soon Gesink might be a doper.
