Back Numbers Tour 2009

I couldn't find it on letour.fr but many sites are reporting the back numbers for the coming TdF.

Should be Nikolai Troussov, unless there are last-minute changes in roster.

And 153 Davis or Boonen

by Frinking on Jul 3, 2009 5:48 AM EDT reply actions

Will Boonen now get 151?

Adrenalina Italiana!

by Albertina on Jul 3, 2009 8:14 AM EDT up reply actions

I'm guessing 153.

Chavanel still the team leader (GC hopes), and Boonen slots in alphabetically in Davis’s place. But I’m sure we’ll have lots of shots of Tommeke pinning his number on, so it won’t be a mystery for long.

very slight rectification, Chavanel says they’ll be working for Devolder, and that his (Chavanel’s) only personal aim is stage wins

by plinytheelder on Jul 3, 2009 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Hmmm. Don't know why they gave him the #1 number then.

Because he is French!

Really, Boonen was allowed into le Tour only because Chavanel was (seemingly) designated team leader.

Columbia is either in alphabetical order

Or with Cav as number 1. Same same, but different.

Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.

Not really surprised by Pellizotti leading the team.

Podium at the Giro trumps Romandie win.

but

in France, I reckon Kreuziger will do better.

AC and LA will switch numbers every day

I can just picture them wrestling around the hotel room

I bet I know who'd win that fight.

Will you be sending the unicorn in?

Totally unnecessary.

Lance against the Black Unicorn? I’d still bet on Lance.

Ok... I'm kind of new here...

…can someone explain me that unicorn thing? Saw that a few times, wish I understood :-)

See

Here

The genesis of it is older, though, dating back to this conversation.

There is even more backstory

but believe me, you don’t want to go there.

To paraphrase Fletch: “you haven’t really lived until you’ve read that thread and afterwards you don’t want to”

Still wish they'd

put the names on with the numbers.

by Sui Juris on Jul 3, 2009 9:42 AM EDT reply actions

The names are written really really small if you look closely!

Huh

I did not know that.

by Sui Juris on Jul 3, 2009 10:45 AM EDT up reply actions

Yep, above the number. This is an oldish pic but it's still the case.

curious

that you’d be taking pictures of them from behind …

oh yeah, to show that the names are actually there, yeah, ok.

by yeehoo on Jul 3, 2009 1:05 PM EDT up reply actions

That's not my picture!

Look, they even have little national flags too. So helpful.

by Albertina on Jul 3, 2009 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Help!

I’m assisting my son put a Tour-only VDS team together, and we need someone on the start list who fits the characteristics “romantic and forgetful.” Preferably cheap—we’ll be spending a lot of points on “cocky and brash.”

Any suggestions?
