Depends on the statue. Is she clothed or not.

Don't think it matters, does it? I'd bet that one of our rbr people has it
stashed by next week.

I'll bet Jones takes it and sets up some weird aboriginal shrine.

Post a photo of that when you stumble upon it. Just curious. Did you see
that one of Joan of Arc in the Tour on the last stage in Paris? I doubt it
would be anything near that nice.

Van Moorsel was among the 100 most legendary Dutch persons ever, together
with one other cyclist - Joop Zoetemelk. She ended up 46th place, Zoetemelk
69th. The only higher placed female athlete was [censored] Blankers-Koen (29).

The number one will be chosen from a.o. Rembrandt, Anne Frank, William of
Orange, Johan Cruyff and some bald racist guy whose name I happily forgot.

I think most legendary might be little Hans Brinker, or captain van der
Decken.

The program is modelled after the BBC's "Great Britons"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/programmes/greatbritons.shtml So what
should we call it? Betherlanders? Oranje Bovenste? In Germany they
called it Unsere Besten, to avoid having to include [censored] in "Größten
Deutschen".

I'm reasonably satisfied with the inclusion of Erasmus, Van Gogh, Willem
de Zwijger, Rembrandt and De Ruyter (famous for his hagelslag) in the
top 10. Of course, it lacks Huygens, Thorbecke, Lorentz, Vondel and..
erm.. Zoetemelk.

Legendary does not mean nonexistent.

If we are going to follow the examples set by the UK and Germany, Drees will
be chosen. Although I'd choose him over Adenauer any day, I'm still
convinced some persons in the top ten deserve the 'award' better.

Did you see the bit of Wim Kan? "Zowel in de politiek als het wielrennen
geldt: Joop is een goede tweede!" (useless to translate). Van Moorsel is the
Netherlands' greatest cyclist ever, in spite of the somewhat Armstrongian
ambiance surrounding her. But apart from Cruyff and our national Voldemort,
the top 10 looks OK. Shame that Aletta Jacobs just fell short of 10th place.

.... and what's more, also the only Dutchman who finsihed the Tour of 1950
