That is lame in itself, but especially so if you’re actually third.

Answering a question?

When Frinking speaks of himself in the third person i feel compelled to answer.

Is there more than one Frinking?

That would be the first thing, I think.

Huomattavasti parempia yhdessä,

kuin kumpikaan yksin. Peterillä menee välillä jotkut asiajutut sekaisin, mutta valtava innostus pyöräilyyn on hellyyttävää.

Ja erityisesti Giron aikaan jutut ruoka- ym. kulttuurista ovat hauskoja.

by amarone on Sep 6, 2009 11:15 AM EDT up reply actions  

se keskinäinen kiusoittelu on ehkä se juttu,

josta minä pidän eniten. Ja pyöräilyyn liittymättömistä jutuista hilpeitä ovat myös Christianin eläinkatsaukset Tourin aikana.

I’m guessing he’s tired, and he did hit his head very hard a couple of days back in the big crash.
