Slow News Day

PrintLight blogging from me today. I can report that mussels and frites go together well with Leffe Bruin. Crashdan is in town, my best excuse to go out for Flemish food. I also have a speech to give later. Gavia, meanwhile, is lord knows where. And there is no news, unless you insist on talking about Dave Rebellin's expected Polemica Olympica.
If you're in Seattle, come out tonight for An Evening with Tyler Farrar, at Magnuson Park. Deets here. If you're in Park City, go hunting around for George Hincapie and his new bike. He and the BMC boys are getting outfitted somewhere in town. The kind of tall guy with big lips and rainbow jewelry is Ballan. Give him our best.

Zzzzzz. Should we start a 'lanche of some sort? ;-)

I thought
that was what the Landis thread was for.

Well we had the beginings of
a Bertogliatilanche happening over in poor Krtek’s thread. Poor woman, she was just asking for directions, and look what happened. I blame Frinking…
Don't blame me..
4 comments from the 131 are from me! The Lanche couldn’t be my fault!
What do you fear most?
1. coup d’etat
2. putsch
We use you as our scapegoat. Blame is automatic...

Totally!
There’s tons of time :-)
In the meantime, the Wednesday Comment, which shows a distressing tendency to publish on time, is up at Cyclingweekly. Good readings, as usual. I really liked the “no winner” argument from Birnie here. Linky, cyclingweekly.
There will be Sesh.
Sesh? When?
No matter how I try to write it I only come up with a lame reference to Chinese food, so I’ll spare you.
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
I have already drunk 2 cups of tea
and eaten a pair of cookies…..
Sesh
Your bike doesn't want to crash so relax and let it roll!!!
Hmm.
You may have to eat a few more cookies. It’s going to be a bit late with the Sesh this week.
Today I had stuff. Tomorrow, I have train with no interwebs. Maybe after the train. Or, maybe the next day. Too bad I forgot my crayons or we could have had the crayons on the train Sesh. But I have no crayons.
Stuff? Surf?

If you had stuff=surf you are forgiven
I will patiently wait for the next (epic) sesh. Will pass on the extra cookies though. Need to maintain weight for a ciclotourism/race I have in 10 days. I heard somewhere here it is all about power to weight ratio hehehe and I am definitely not build like Evil Bert.
Your bike doesn't want to crash so relax and let it roll!!!
Ahem.
Shouldn’t you be in bed?

I vote that Drew makes a three part analysis on spanish vs. italian Pro Conti teams
Strength / weaknesses, transfers etc.
No hurry, two hours should be plenty of time. Chop chop.
Can't blog - working.
Shorter: Spanish/Italian Conti teams – They aren’t Toppsport Vlaanderen.
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
Oh, and Chris
If you don’t try beefstew with a side of frittes next April, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
Side?
At Brouwers they will offer to pour the stew over your frites. Saves wasted energy lifting fork more.
[OK, I made up the part about using a fork.]

I like them split up

(Side note – can we go to Brouwers in February? And close it?)
I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?
Reading that BMC was going to be in Park City reminded me of the article on CN I read last week that
Katusha was having a training camp this week in Turkmenistan. That team really confuses me.
Other news includes Nelson Oliviera signed with Xacobeo, Jean Christophe Peraud (French TT champ) signed with Lotto, BMC got invited to do 2 weeks of desert fun in Qatar and Oman, and Bergamo is starting a bid to go for the 2015 World Champs.
Had a good year?

What are we gonna have?
Well, that depends on what your teachers say. If you’ve been good, pizza. If you’ve been bad… uh… let’s see… poison.
What if one of us has been good and one of us has been bad?
Poison pizza.
Oh, no! I’m not making two stops!

Damn that was bright.

Guess the BMC meeting in Park City was only for the americans so nobody would have even had a chance to see Ballan
they had a meeting the other week in Switzerland, most likely at BMC hq
