The Mother of all VDS smacktalk: TourEdition

PrintOK all of you with a yearlong VDS-team. This is it. You may have fooled yourself into thinking that the Ster Electrotoer actually made a difference but you were wrong. This is the Tour, Baby. This is where the big boys and girls come out to play.
This is what separates The Players from............... well Ursula I suppose. 
Sure the Giro and the Vuelta may count for just as many points but we are talking MAJOR bragging rights here. The once in a lifetime opportunity to point to your fellow PdCers and snicker smugly at their inferior teambuilding-skills. And for those of you who didn't pick Contador there is always the possibility to mock those un-original enough to do so. Let's face it, if you want to win there is always next year.
So now that the Tour is almost upon us,let's hear it. How do your teams look and why will they dominate these next three weeks?

Hmmm. I didn't pick Alberto,
and I did pick Valverde. I can mock no one.
Smacktalk
Somehow the smacktalk never really does lift off around here. Everybody happily pipes in to say who they have on their team and that’s it. There is hardly any interaction. No fun at all. We should spice it up a little. We just need a volunteer to bring his or her team to the forefront like a lamb into a den of wolves.
Since I already reached immortal PdC-hood bragging rights by winning a PdC snuggie I’ll be that volunteer. So sharpen your knives and let the slaughtering begin. There is only one rule and that is there should be humor…
Team Dexy’s Midnight Runners:
Alberto Contador
Thor Hushovd
Thomas Dekker
Nicolas Roche
Pierrick Fedrigo
Mikel Astarloza
Fabian Wegmann
? Alan Davis ?
Remi Pauriol
Benoit Vaugrenard
Danilo Napolitano
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way.": Alberto Contador, shortly after waking up from brain surgery.
Ha! Wegman and Fedrigo
The two riders most likely to almost win a stage. Plus you have the two highpriced teamleaders most likely to get slaughtered by team-infighting. Thank you for playing, good luck in the Vuelta.
Smack talk requires a worthy target, and
you’re wearing a snuggie.
We ask for challenges, but we get low-hanging fruit.
LOPEX YOU SUCK! AND YOUR TEAM BLOWS!
Contador? You got him? Geez what an edgy pick you you Lev Leipheimer Lover! I’ll bet next on your list is Thor Hushovd, right?
IT IS? YOU GOT THOR? AND I SUPPOSE YOU THINK DUTCH GIRLS ARE CUTE!
Okay. You got Unibrow. What no riders with three Y chromosomes available?
Your team sucks so much that by the end of this race you’ll wind up owing VDS points.
Ha
Your puny attempts at mockery do nothing to disturb the sleep of the epic heroes on team DMR. Fedrigo, Pauriol, Wegmann and Vaugrenard will be in succesful breaks in at least 4 stages. Astarloza will fly away in the mountains and win 2 stages + the KOM jersey. Napolitano will own Cavendish in the sprints. Remember in the 2007 TdF Napolitano bested Cav in 5 out of 7 stages before going on a well-deserved vacation. Hushovd will win all time-trials. Roche will win this whole thing and I bet even Contador might score me some points somewhere. Resistance is futile! All bow to team mean machine!
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way.": Alberto Contador, shortly after waking up from brain surgery.
i think i can still hang on
in the top after the Tour.
My Giro should be my Achilles’ heel, but Menchov gave me amount of points. Now, with a more complete team, i hope that at least keep this rythm :P
Denis Menchov
Robert Gesink
Simon Spilak
Sylvain Chavanel
Michael Rogers
Fabian Wegmann
Sergio Paulinho
Rui Costa
Niki Terpstra
Yuriy Trofimov
Maxime Monfort
Marcus Burghardt
Heinrich Haussler
Vladimir Karpets
Luis Leon Sanchez Gil
Thor Hushovd
Gerald Ciolek
Danilo Napolitano
resume…almost my team is here…lol
Burghard got ditched and is not riding , so there. Ha!
I don’t see why the portuguese get to play this stupid game anyway :-(
How the heck can your entire team be here? No fair:
No joke.
Seriously only 7 guys on the bench. That is a thin bullpen. But man is that a deep Tour squad
Bennatti will win 10 stages so there!
Ha. Highly doubt even one, but I am sure at the least the mention of Benna’s name will brings a few people on over.
Life without Bert
Being one of the few teams in the top 15 without Bert here is to hoping he fails!
Here is how the team stacks out
Andy Schleck
Robert Gesink
Daniele Bennati
Thor Hushovd
Egoi Martinez
Rinaldo Nocentini
Jens Voigt
Luis Leon Sanchez Gil
Stuart O’Grady
David Millar
Mikel Astarloza
Heinrich Haussler
Johan Van Summeren
Thats it.
There has to be a way to win this, without Bert.
Even if he wins (which I think he will). Ursula, Majope, please do the math for me. (Except now I recall Ursula’s pre-season recommendations. Hmm. Okay, Majope, do the math!)
The way to win without Bert
The key is having a guy finish second but hold on to the jersey for a while and have a couple stage wins. Bert can then win the overall by gaining time on Ventoux and you will have alot more points from having the jersey for multiple days. Same thing happened in the Giro where Di Luca had more points i think than Menchov.
Yup.
But it’s less likely to work in the Tour, because Di Luca was able to pile on points in the Giro by holding multiple jerseys—that usually doesn’t happen in the Tour. Best have a couple of guys who are jersey contenders and high up on GC.
Last year’s highest scorer in the Tour was winner Carlos Sastre, who earned 800 points. Di Luca got 1314 in this year’s Giro.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
You do know you don't get points for what they did last year?
Picking K the Year of the Cav was not so clever.
You are so mind numblingly dumb. I mean it just hurts.
Of course Kirchen will hold the yellow jersey for 10 stages. Just watch.
Hold it for Andy Schleck while he changes, you mean.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
Are you kidding? Why, he once...
Wait. No he didn’t.
Never mind.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
So, the Black Unicorn says to me
“I can arrange that, but in return one of your Tour boys has to sit it out this year.”
And I go, “Okay, but not Cav.”
And he says, “Heh heh heh…you know how easy it is to break a Barbie’s leg?”
And I say, “NO! Not GHH. For one thing, Phil will kill me!”
So he goes, “That little Schleck boy sure is delic—”
And I stop him right away. “Black Unicorn,” I say, “you keep your hooves off the Schlecklet. He’s my best chance at GC.”
Then we stare at each other for a long time, and he finally says, “Look. I have to pick someone. That’s the deal.”
And I say, “Okay. But no terrible injuries, okay?”
And I don’t get why he’s grinning when he says “Okay.”
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
Alas, only ten qualified for Tour points from my (2.0) team.
They are, from Grote Mandreke:
Fabian Cancellara (25)
Robert Gesink (16)
Andy Schleck (16)
Sylvain Chavanel (12)
Stuart O’Grady (6)
Sandy Casar (4)
Bernhard Eisel (4)
Carlos Barredo (2)
Johan Van Summeren (2)
Brice Feillu (1)
Then there are ten worthy Tour riders who would have earned VDS points but, perhaps for personal or political reasons, remain at home:
Philippe Gilbert (16)
Thomas Lövkvist (14)
Edvald Boasson Hagen (6)
Marcus Burghardt (6)
Manuel Quinziato (4)
Tadej Valjavec (4)
Francesco Chicchi (2)
Simon Gerrans (2)
Daniel Martin (2)
John-Lee Augustyn (1)
I suppose I can hope that the projected points defecit is atoned for at la Vuelta…
But, hehe, two different versions of my team are listed (Hint, hint VDS Editor, delete the version with Pozzato!) so I could just choose the higher scorer since it has never been fixed…
Mon coeur appartient à les forçats de la route.
Because this is as good a place as any to note this
Has anyone noticed that we’re finally getting cycling ads here? Sure, you’re probably waaay too smart to pay Competitive Cyclist prices, but still, I’m happy to see them advertising here. So click on the bike ads, people.
Way to go there
day one and you’re already taking the piss.
Actually . . .
I have a couple of very good things to say about Competitive Cyclist. First, their blog is pretty great. Second, their saddle test program rocks. Also, maybe their prices on $8k bikes are great. I wouldn’t know.
Getting closer now
carefully targetted praise is good. Now we just need to lose the random, general insults.
someone's got to pay
for that flashy web-site and those fancy adverts, and Ol’ Uncle Sam Walton ain’t likely to volunteer.
What's left of Team Red Shorts is still going to kick your collective butt.
Andy Schleck—y’all think he can’t beat the Accountant. I say HAH! Just watch him go.
Mark Cavendish—ladies and gentlemen, may I present the winner of 7 8 stages and winner of the green jersey?
Gerald Ciolek—Hinault thinks he can give Cav a run for his money. Who am I to argue with the Badger?
The Glorious Heinrich Haussler—he’s supposed to be working for Hushovd, of course. Supposed to be.
Leenooos Gerrrrrrdemann—know why he’s been so quiet this year? Because he’s saving it alllllllllll up for the Tour. Deutschland uber alles, baby.
Rui Costa—okay, he’s young. but France was good to him in Dunkerque. He’s going to get some points. I know he will.
Mark Renshaw—Cav’s leadout man. Watch him to be gifted with a stage.
Greg Van Avermaet—winner of the points jersey in last year’s Vuelta. Has also been saving it up for the Tour.
Johan Vansummeren—he’s too good to stay a domestique forever. 5th in Paris-Roubaix even after stopping to wait for \0/ when the latter crashed. Okay, he will be working those long legs off for Evans, but maybe if he gets sent up in a breakaway and the peloton never catches up and…Hey. It could happen! This is my Tour de France fantasy.
And in it, I get lots and lots of points.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
Someone else with the Ciolek/Gerdeman double
it seemed such a good idea back in March. Sigh.
Fortunately I'll get half of the points as I have Gerald.
Ciolek- Green jersey winner
Gerdemann- yellow jersey winner.
Eleven here
and not a lot of hopes:
Levi Leipheimer
Linus Gerdemann
Gerald Ciolek
David Moncoutie
JJ Rojas Gil
Cyril Dessel
Pierrick Fedrigo
Mikel Astarloza
Koldo Fernandez De Larrea
Oscar Pereiro Sio
Jerome Coppel
If Tomeke gets a reprieve I might just be saved, otherwise I should rename them Team Lead Boots.
Losers, all of ya
Vande Velde – Fooled by the fake injury were you? Podium, minimum
Gesink – Hegemony remember – Top 5
Nibali- Ready to be unleashed – Top 10
Rogers – The real Captain on Columbia – Top 10
Velits – RealDeal Youngster – Stage + White
Farrar- CavSlayer Extraordinare 2+ stagewins
Haussler – Norway, screw you – green jersey
Ciolek – mooving into form – stagewin
Lloyd- Free when Evans crumbles – stagewin
Rolland – French hope – stage + polka
Hutarovich- badass- placing in every sprint
CAS- Ventoux winner – stagewinner
Beat the ass out of that!
Yeah, I suppose 30th can be considered "placing."
But isn’t “French hope” an oxymoron?
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
I figured you were using an alternate definition
based on him finishing in some sort of place. Because he’ll need to actually be riding a horse (or unicorn) to get up to 3rd in this bunch.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
Hutarovich got his national jersey
what else were you expecting?
Team Atala
Contador
Cavendish
Haussler
Hushovd
Chavanel
CAS
(Allan Davis)
Barredo
Veikkanen
Mondory
Spilak

Paulinho
Eh… light on the GC side, obviously.
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.
On the other hand, one way or another you will own the green.

Oops...
Forgot Ballan. But that’s easy to do.

Mmmkay... so no Allan Davis then
But apparently I missed that Leonardo Duque is at the Tour.

And especially- NO GOD DAMN HOOSIERS!!!!!
Oh, man up!
If you’re going to admit to Colom, for Christ’s sake, step up and confess to Dekker, too. I guess somebody wasn’t paying attention in my “How they did it last year” post when I said pick the RIGHT dopers. Sheesh.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
40? REALLY?????
I get (ursula counts on his fingers….. just a minute here…… 7 MORE POINTS THAN I EXPECTED???
WOW!!!!!!!
Garzelli
look just because you saw a little bald bloke on telly today, that doesn’t mean that they’re all riding the Tour. And don’t try the “they all look the same to me” line, Levi’s never made it into the hotitude threads as far as I know.
and you legally get to jab people with needles?
and they pay you for it?
"I get paid to hurt other people. How good is that? How good is that?
I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, that's good." Jens!
er, that was supposed to be a reply to Ursula's post...
Ô col Bayard, Ô Tourmalet, à côté du Galibier, vous êtes de la pale et vulgaire bibine !
It will be revealed...
After the last stage, “Andy Schelck” will take off his mask and be…Tony Colom!
lol
I wouldn’t mind that, actually
Ô col Bayard, Ô Tourmalet, à côté du Galibier, vous êtes de la pale et vulgaire bibine !
Oh, please.
Did you see how gaunt Andy looked at the team presentation today? There’s less and less room for his skull under his skin, much less another face.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
Don't worry. By the end of the Tour, his image will be burned into your soul.
And his points will lift me skyward into the realm of the VDS gods!!!!!!
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
you know Schleck..
Skinny guy, falls down a lot.
"I get paid to hurt other people. How good is that? How good is that?
I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, that's good." Jens!
That's the OTHER one.
This is the new, improved version. Schleck 2.0: at least as skinny, but manages to stay on the bike.

Don't feel bad, ursula.
It was easy to overlook.

Denial
Denial is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.
Oh. Right. I fell aspleep reading the names.
When your sexiest pick is Vinny “I suck to much to catch a wheel” Nibali you should just go vacation in Norway for the month.

Yep, you read that right. Haussler!
The three or four of you out there who don’t have GHH on your team are going to be eating my dust. Well, unless you have Bert on your team. Or Sastre or Menchov. Or Evans, I suppose. But if there’s anyone out there who doesn’t have Haussler and is pinning their gc hopes on French or Belgian guys, all I can say is: Eat my dust!
Change the French/Belgian bit to German
and that pretty much sums up my team.

was THAT the smallprint in the VDS rules?
I never bothered to read that…

Oh! The small print! Hey, ursula....(whisper whisper whisper)
I think if you check the spreadsheets now, you’ll see a strict application of all of the stuff in small print has drastically changed the rankings.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
Yes. What majope says is true.
In other news, majope and ursula are tied for the VDS lead with 12,000,000 points while Jens and Monty are last with -5 bazillion.
nnnnoooooooooo!!!!
Ô col Bayard, Ô Tourmalet, à côté du Galibier, vous êtes de la pale et vulgaire bibine !
You can't have changed the rules much then
what’s drastic about going from last to tied last?
something like that, yes
thanks! and your team is excellent, too.
Ô col Bayard, Ô Tourmalet, à côté du Galibier, vous êtes de la pale et vulgaire bibine !
You've both got great teams...
…which is especially annoying for me as you occupy the two places directly above me. There’s not a huge amount of difference between our teams, either, so I don’t see myself moving onto the podium any time soon.

So not funny.
Well, I didn’t name my team Maglia Rosa or Bust because I thought I’d clean up a the Tour.
Speaking of which, is it too late to change my team’s name to Maglia d’Oro or Bust? Turns out, banking everything on Basso winning the Giro wasn’t really a winning strategy. Banking everything on Basso winning the Vuelta is far more sensible.

I actually think that I’ve got a decent mix here. GC contenders (Contador is going to win and Rogers will top ten, and Karpets could surprise), stage hunters and sprinters (well the one that counts – Cavendish!)
Not expecting much from Popo – he’ll be working for “the boss”, but on any given day I could score points from the rest…
Now how many hours left to make up my TDF only VDS?
