PrintBecause I think we need a thread like this. Where we can discuss the fact that Dan Martin is injured, tendonitis, and will be replaced by Martijn Maaskant. And other important stuff. Like... uhmmm... how about 'em Cubs, is it their year yet?
Talk in everlasting words, and dedicate them all to
Me.
And I will give you all my life, Im here if you
Should call to me.
You think that I dont even mean a single word i
Say.
Its only words, and words are all I have, to take
Your heart away

Maaskant in
So we’re back to 11 Dutch riders this year. Worse than the golden years when 4 Dutch teams brought 30 Dutch riders to the start but a lot better than the recent low with 5 riders.

Aw mate, rest up...
… now is not the time to be sick!
I have early nights on the schedule for tonight and tomorrow. I am sooo tired… my eyes have been stinging for most of the week, and we haven’t even started with the ‘July noctournal schedule’ yet! And I foolishly said today at work “Yes, OK, I’ll do overtime on Saturday morning”… oh great – my day is gonna start at 6am, and the SBS coverage starts at 23:30 :-(. ….Anyone got any tips on how to sucessfully achieve an ‘afternoon nap’?
hear tell sbs will be live streaming the tdf coverage

So they keep saying :-)
And for some reason 12 of the stages are being shown live on both of their TV channels. Weird.
I have the feeling
I might just be the only one here with a Versus “Take Back the Tour” T-shirt.

Aww no, get better soon!
Lots of rest, chocolate, tea etc. Good vibes coming your way.
Adrenalina Italiana!
Looks like we're gonna have to replace CycleGirl
for the Tour. Can’t start someone sick, can we?
Sub recommendations?
Ohh i'm trying to get back nto the Peleton.. Taking lot's of drugs, but they are approved by WADA..

Among the things I've learned today
Nicholas Roche and Dan Martin are cousins. More on Dan Martins injury at CN.

This could get exciting
Vinokourov announced today that he’s returning to bike racing on July 24:
“I do not see myself anywhere else than Astana. This team was created in 2006 with the Kazakh cycling federation, it is our baby.”

Who is the boss?
From the Velonews Article:
If Bruyneel does not want me, it will be Bruyneel who is leaving the team.
Whaaaa? But Vino doesn't own the team...
…what’s he gonna do? Get that scary looking Kazakh sports minister to kidnap Bruyneel?!
Adrenalina Italiana!
I've lost track of all this...yes, I think so.
Could be very ugly if he really means what he says!
Adrenalina Italiana!
all I want
is for Bert to get the f*** out of that mess.
and then they can fight all the way to hell.
It's ok, fear not for Bert
Cd’E will take good care of him ;)

Damned inconsiderate, don't you think?
Nice one – start the presentation at 2am EST on a weekday. “Let’s see just how tough those Aussies are! Bwwahahaha!” :-(
Am i right in reading Eurosport are showing the WHOLE team presentation?!
Wow. I hope they mean it…I’m excited now

French Eurosport starts their broadcast at 17.45 cest
But the rest starts at 18.15. My guess is that it’s lot of chitchat in the beginning, and that we will be able to see the team presentation as such.

Tony Martin
He’s still pretty much unknown here in Holland. That means I can kick ass in tourgames here if the guy can do something in this tour.
What do you reckon? What can he do? Place top-10 in time trials? Go for KOM points? Ride top-10 of the young rider classification? Win from breaks?

a few more
Menchov is thrilled to be in Monaco!
Millar seems a bit more excited
the World Champ is in the house
and he’s starting his hotitude poses
Cadel going for lots of bold, and clashing, colors
Christian appears to have forgotten a bike
Sastre must have seen something on the beach that he likes
They can’t keep Boonen from training with the team
I wish I knew how to write little bubble captions on this pic
Niiiice pic of Tommeke.
That’s a keeper.
The Sastre and bubble captions pics give Page Load Error messages—there’s some extra stuff in the urls that needs to be removed before you can see them.

Frank is thinking...
“First the Luxembourg jersey, soon the yellow. Why did I ever tell the brat that being a pro cyclist was cool?”

I'm supposed to be working but I can't stop thinking about bikes!
Is there medication for this affliction?
Adrenalina Italiana!
who
Bloody hell.
And I just turned in my Velogames team.
If there really are positives to announce, will they please get a move on? Tour presentation is in, like, an HOUR.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
just hoping
they catch more french riders so the excuse of ‘two speeds’ is not their excuse any more…
Nice pic of the Schlecks on their bikes in Monaco.
Still looks like Andy is wearing Frank’s jersey, though.

When I was very little
I got clothes that my sister no longer could wear. One would’ve guessed that the Schlecks are too old for such things.

Unlike Columbia...
Their new co-sponsor did not uglify the team kit.
Mon coeur appartient à les forçats de la route.
Yeah, but unlike HTC, until you just said that I didn't notice they'd added Playitas to the kit at all.

Thanx for all the photos, especially SexyBank
I’m still home sick, trying to recover before tour starts, and these pics are making me feel that little bit better…Now to ass some to the F/B group when better.
