Who should be next?

So, who do you want to be the next person to have a live chat with. If Chris and/or Gavia take this seriously then the winner will be invited to have a live chat with us. Notice there will be no options for people like Fabian Cancellara, and Tom Boonen, Alberto Contador, Andy and/or Frank Schleck, or Cadel Evans, because unfortunately being realistic it's very unlikely that they would have a live chat here.

I'd give even money that BMC would consider letting Cadel hang with us.

I’d be interested to hear from guys like Brent Bookwalter and Jeff Louder on their first real exposure to European racing with guys like Evans and Ballan to support.

st. dave please...

…I can’t stand him and he cracks me up all at the same time! I really don’t know whether to seriously dislike the guy or love him…is it just me?

by JustJoshinYa on Mar 10, 2010 7:36 PM EST reply actions  

maybe to both

and to jf103287 sorry but it’s the winner-if the poll is approved-that gets a chance at a live chat.

by kom vuelta on Mar 10, 2010 7:41 PM EST reply actions  

lost in translation

do all of the aforementioned fellas read/write english well enough to keep pace with a live chat? apart from the obvious (e.g. millar), of course.

by discolite on Mar 10, 2010 7:44 PM EST reply actions  

think most

although Mosquera Visconti, and Vaitkus might not.

by kom vuelta on Mar 10, 2010 7:49 PM EST up reply actions  

lol

Over the long term, I’m guessing you will see a good many of the English-speaking riders paying us a visit. It’s just a matter of time and effort to arrange things. We have a couple in the works right now, and more to come.

Glad there’s so much enthusiasm for these things, for sure!

by gavia on Mar 10, 2010 7:51 PM EST reply actions  

Thank you

well then, I guess the winner of the poll could be the next one, after the ones that are in the works.

Ha! Bonus is that no translation is needed.

Wait until he hears that Frinking doesn’t even have a bike.

Wiggo

so I can tell him how much of a wanker I think he is.

by Phil H. on Mar 10, 2010 8:06 PM EST reply actions  

There is rational thinking here

I didn’t put people like Wiggo or Bert because it would be too contraversial.

by kom vuelta on Mar 10, 2010 8:08 PM EST up reply actions  

Lance and Alberto

You guys would enjoy that, right? Right. I’m on it.

Yay! I’m tied with Mr VanP in the VDS!

Hey Van P? Were there no more Belgians left to add to your team? :)

Yes Yes

David moncoutie is better because there is one easy question that relates to my name that many people want to know the answer to.

by kom vuelta on Mar 10, 2010 8:28 PM EST up reply actions  

OK

But I hope someone knows how to say it in French.

Does he know English?

I think he does because I was watching the stage he won of the Vuelta and a translator was not needed

by kom vuelta on Mar 10, 2010 8:51 PM EST up reply actions  

yes true

but if he can speak English it’s likely he can read it and write it too, but if Moncoutie wins, which still is an if maybe Chris can talk to people at Cofidis about this issue.

Speaking regular English and following this place in written form ain’t no picnic neither.

but I guess I should wait til podiumcafe.nl (oh I’m sure it will happen someday) can drum up enough money to develop a portal to the after realm.

Or Kristian House. He’s already done an interview for us and he’s a great guy. Very entertaining, very honest.

I vote Millar...

It would be enteraining seeing him have an emotional breakdown when asked about doping.
