  1. ...according to Rudy "the mole" Pevenage...

    Robert, in case you missed it:

    Jan Ullrich devrait prolonger avec Bianchi la semaine prochaine

    BERLIN (AP) - Jan Ullrich, deuxième du Tour de France en juillet, devrait signer un nouveau contrat
    de trois ans avec la formation Bianchi la semaine prochaine, a annoncé dimanche Rudi Pevenage le
    "patron" de la formation italienne.

    L'Allemand, convoité par quatre formations cyclistes, a demandé à la Bianchi de se renforcer,
    pour lui permettre en 2004 de remporter une deuxième fois la Grande Boucle, après son premier
    succès obtenu en 1997.

    "Nous avons posé une limite à la Bianchi, et j'espère qu'elle en tiendra compte", a déclaré
    Wolfgang Strohband, le manager d'Ullrich.

    Selon le manager, Ullrich entend aussi remporter le Tour d'Italie l'an prochain et conserver son
    titre olympique sur route lors des JO d'Athènes.

    Bianchi espère obtenir l'aide d'un important parraineur à la fin du mois, qui lui permettrait de
    satisfaire Ullrich en renforçant l'équipe.

    Pevenage a démenti les rumeurs en provenance d'Allemagne annonçant que la Team Telekom
    souhaiterait enrôler à nouveau Ullrich.

    Ullrich avait remporté le Tour de France en 1997 avec Telekom. Il avait quitté l'équipe allemande
    l'an dernier après avoir été suspendu pour dopage. AP

    Why post this in French when Cyclingnews has most of the story in English, anyway? To sum, Pevenage
    announced Ullrich will sign a 3-year contract with Bianchi next week. Germany has demanded (the
    entire country?) that Bianchi support Ullrich to the utmost so he can repeat his 1997 victory. As
    the subject line says, he will visit the Giro, the Tour and the Olympics. They hope to secure an
    important rider at the end of the month in order to help him carry out his goals. Pevenage denied
    that Telekom made a bid to reclaim Ullrich. (They must be content with Vinokourov, and
    understandably so.)

    Thanks; yeah, I had missed it. Here's a very French sentence I liked:

    Close. Only two mistakes.

    No way, he intends to WIN all three is what his manager said (who is not Pevenage btw).

    That's also the way I understand it, I guess sometihng got lost in the translation. The French
    version makes more sense. Why would Pevenage make it a point to announce that Ullrich will
    participate in the TdF?

    It has been a while since I last attempted to speak French. I can't seem to get anything right, can
    I? I promise I'll collect my marbles one of these days...

    Oh, I don't know. A couple of mistakes per posting is about par for rbr, so it seems you fit
    right in. I think I average slightly higher than that, but I've developed a thickish skin.
    Besides, I believe the President has declared a new standard: you can take a mulligan on up to 16
    words per speech.

    I do have the decency to spell everything correctly, at least in English. That must count for
    something.

    The President has declared a bunch of new standards, but that's neither here nor there.
