This is SO much better than actually watching it.
I saw a baby that looked like Cadel Evans the other day...
Probably on drugs or something.

It's okay, AC. We can.
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
is it wrong to be treating this as drinking game?
full support of team….drink etc
am four in already
Ha!

Drink again!

No, I feel like it
would be wrong not to treat it as a drinking game, really.

Time is just a number.

Journalists applauding...?
Or have they allowed fans?
Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger...
Read any of the Spanish press?

Yes, but
I think there are degrees of support here

I was wondering if some fans had snuck in
Mind you, reports are fans too…
"Englutch, the official language of the Podium Cafe (from January to April)" -Chris Fontecchio
Ah, some saying applause from friends and relatives
"Englutch, the official language of the Podium Cafe (from January to April)" -Chris Fontecchio
Yes, the support you've received is unbelievable.
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Going to appeal?

Oh, interesting.

Valverde appealed
A bunch of times. No success.

Swiss Federal Courts, I think?

Perhaps he can get hold of Keijsse's Belgian judge
And start a new circus.

But ... but...
There was so much more opportunity for snark. I’m gonna go pout now. :(

Asking Riis if he's going to pay Alberto all his salary...
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Riis saying if Alberto cannot ride, the contract cannot continue.
So he won’t be paying him during the time off? Did I hear that right?
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Not sure, but there was all that full support of the team stuff before...
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Why didn't they ask a clarification follow up???

"Something is wrong in the system."
I think we can agree on that.

I don't know
I really like how long it takes! It’s great! Time for reflection! And rewriting all the results! So fun!

Good point. Scratch that.

Come and see the violence inherent in the system
Help! Help! I’m being repressed!

Fashion report: Bert's crisp white shirt loudly proclaims his innocence
while the epaulet-like detailing on the shoulders of his jacket suggests that he will fight on.

Ha!
The eppaulets, I’m not so sure about these. Fashion victim!
It’d be nice if we could see the pants, maybe.

Next you'll be critiquing his choice underwear
"Englutch, the official language of the Podium Cafe (from January to April)" -Chris Fontecchio
Drop 'em, Bert! We're getting bored.
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
On second thought, we might not want the skinny climbers getting into this...
Could lead to Schleck sightings we’d all regret forever.

Finally!! The analysis we have all been waiting for.
"Englutch, the official language of the Podium Cafe (from January to April)" -Chris Fontecchio
Riis: as a team we still support Alberto, see no reason not to.
But Alberto and Riis have to sit down and talk about the future. If he wishes to continue with the team, he’ll be glad to continue with him. Doesn’t see any problem working with him again…wants to continue to work with him.
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
So is he suggesting current contract is over, and they have to negotiate a new one if Bert wants to stay/come back to Saxo?
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Oh noooo....! another endless story from here to Vuelta...!
Strava...? We are going for the TOP 10 this year...! Are you going to be part of something great or not?
That's what I thought.
If Bert comes back it is:
1) At a reduced salary and,
2) Specified exactly what races he’s in so Riis can make promises to other riders that they won;t be Bert’s domestiques.
Key thing
They should have settled this issue before they got up on stage and had a joint presser. Ooops.
Bert looked noticeably not super happy during this bit.
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Maybe
the answer is, the current contract ends with the TAS decision. But if Contador wants to come back with Saxo, then I would like that to happen.

Cross-posted...cool, I think we got the same idea.

How long does a baby microphone take to gestate?

No idea but from taiwan to hear about 24 hours shipping.

I think they've multiplied just in the time we've been watching.

Do we have to drink for media support, too?
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
do we need an excuse to drink?

Okay, now it's over.

They're singing for him!
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
So...Riis may have some money to beef up the team after all.

Sheesh. Didn't you read the report? Veal. 3.2 kg of veal solomillo from a calf weighing approximately 290 kg
although Contador’s experts estimated it had to have weighed closer to 350 kg.
I understand there are many people in Norway who wanted me to go with yellow shoes, but it's okay to try something else--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Well, those are the people who use it.

Is it over? Reading your comments, I am pretty sure reporters don't know how to turn off cell phones,
Bert was wearing a white shirt, and SexyBack wants to resign him for a Vuelta championship. Am I right?
At one point he made some sort of semi-coordinated
lip-jaw motion that may have been a intended as a smile. I would have to watch a slo-mo replay to say for sure
Another Riis presser

Ahhh...
Gav, thanks so much for opening up a live thread for this. These little moments are always better when shared with PdC.
