Around SBN: All Hail David Luiz

Oh what goodies the off season brings. I'm pretending like I never saw this and praying for April to come. Girls, enjoy.

I am speechless. This does not occur often.

Seriously…bahahahahahahahahahahaha! Caption competition anyone?
And just what is that on Save Ferris’ side? I do think it’s time we had an off season thread about odd tattoos of the peloton. And this one is flippin hilarious just for the expressions in the background alone!

bahahaha!

So pensive, this Pellizotti.

They’re like, did he actually just do that? Ha!

Oh, absolutely precious!

And, yes…bahahahahahahahahahahaha!

That pic was my fave too

although there were many goodies to choose from!

zomg, freakin' hysterical!

Excellent work from Liquigas to brighten up the offy!

Anyone know the significance of the yellow hats? Very Devo. And oh-so- funny.

Don't male strippers usually dress up in macho outfits like construction workers, policemen, or firemen?

Not that I hang out at Chippendale’s or anything, I think it’s just a stripper cliche.

by majope on Dec 14, 2009 9:44 PM EST up reply actions  

uh-huh

Sure you don’t ;-)

LOL, I was laughing too hard to even imagine what that bit was about. So funny, this Green team.

by Jen See on Dec 14, 2009 9:54 PM EST up reply actions  

Wow.

Now that’s a set of pics you would never find Erik Zabel in.

Which is probably admirable, but it's also a loss...

Liquigas's Hotittude status is set in stone/pictures now

How will the other teams beat these pics :))

But where are the others?

Benna? Manuel? Guarnieri? I feel sure Jacopo would have been up for this ;)

by Albertina on Dec 15, 2009 6:30 PM EST up reply actions  

I'm shocked at how good

Pellizotti looks! :-0 Wow! I agree, where the hell was Jacopo? Would have been a huge treat to have Pippo there too. I know wrong team but a girl can dream.

Interesting...

how when the rides dance in their underwear it becomes a “test of humiliation”, but apparently it’s fine for the girls.

But to get back to the serious matter at hand, I think that Corioni deserved to take it on his dance moves alone.
 
(Liquigas’ off season exploits are really warming me to them. I hope this Signor Bettini keeps up his fine work.)

by Krtek on Dec 16, 2009 9:56 AM EST reply actions  

The Benna spa pictures?

Or did I miss Liquigas mud wrestling night somehow?

by Krtek on Dec 16, 2009 10:59 AM EST up reply actions  

Yes indeed, the spa!

There are more of them on the Bettini website. Mud wrestling…there’s potential in that idea.

by Albertina on Dec 16, 2009 11:02 AM EST up reply actions  

Ooh, are there?

I’ll have to check his actual website sometime instead of just the secondary sources.

I really think so. Except that by rights it should be lime jello, now that I think about it.

by Krtek on Dec 16, 2009 11:13 AM EST up reply actions  

lime jello

yessss, this idea definitely has potential…

by Jen See on Dec 16, 2009 12:55 PM EST up reply actions  

Doesn't one of the Liquiboys read PdC from time to time?

Come on guys—make it a charity event and see how much money you can raise! We at PdC Hottitude Central pledge to provide the Jello—and volunteer to referee.

by majope on Dec 16, 2009 2:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Indeed!

I’m fab at making jello. Now, where’s that vodka bottle?

And refereeing, like, we’d be so totally objective and stuff.

by Jen See on Dec 16, 2009 5:54 PM EST up reply actions  

I'm the ref, me me me!

Rory Mason reads us from time to time, no?

"Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle."

Oh yeah…

(Purely out of self-interest, can we include the non-Italian riders in the shenanigans? I’ll leave the Italian finery for others while I swoon over a fair-haired Pole.)

by discolite on Dec 16, 2009 3:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Fair haired Pole?

Can Basques be included or must their jelly be orange?

by Albertina on Dec 16, 2009 6:20 PM EST up reply actions  

'Access Denied'. BAH!!!

This is not fair. There are cross riders taking it off? Who??!!

by Albertina on Dec 17, 2009 4:45 AM EST up reply actions  

Oh, nothing special.

Just a few shots from the afterparty of one of the big races last year. Some guys named Niels, Sven, and Lars doing vodka shots buck naked in a sauna. Then they whip each other with birch twigs (?) and roll in the snow. Utterly bizarre, but nothing you need to see.

Never seen anything like it! It’s lunchtime too…they always unblock things at lunchtime! Are you having me on majope?! I think you might be…..if you’re not, well, this sounds like ESSENTIAL viewing ;-)

by Albertina on Dec 17, 2009 8:27 AM EST up reply actions  

YOU LIER!!!!

Where is Niels? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

by Albertina on Dec 17, 2009 1:46 PM EST up reply actions  

How DARE you call me a lier...

when the correct spelling is “liar”? We’ll never improve Frinking’s English if the native speakers pull such stunts.

Write it a hundred times, and then try insulting me again—only properly.

by majope on Dec 17, 2009 8:28 PM EST up reply actions  

Are you suggesting

you are not in fact posting while draped on a chaise longue?

by tedvdw on Dec 17, 2009 8:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Alas, no.

Ever since our last pool boy was deported, I have to spend half my day scooping the leaves out of the pool myself—and even fixing my own drinks.

Luckily, we have a new applicant, a nice young Dutch fellow with curly hair and a great smile who says he’s out of a job until mid-2011 or so. With luck, I’ll be draped over the chaise again very soon.

by majope on Dec 17, 2009 9:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Are you sure it's not Frinking with a perm?

Isn’t he a pool boy in the summer?

I think listening will be sufficient.
