  1. The Vuelta is coming up, but does anyone give a [censored]? You'd think that
    this race could be sold to the Hispanic audience in the States, at
    least until they stop to think of the Colonial Imperialist regime that
    was forced down their throat, and still continues to drive the civil
    wars in South, and Central America.
    I really don't give a [censored] about the Vuelta, because noone else seems
    to either other than the Spaniards and Basque. So we're down to Worlds,
    which only the Euros seem to care about and The "Fallen Leaves". Life
    sucks when the real season is over.

    I have always enjoyed the Vuelta, but you are right about who is really
    racing. The Spanish and teams/riders who have had a bad season try to have
    a strong race. I miss the few years that we had daily coverage on OLN but
    follow it other ways.

    Sold to the "Hispanic audience"?

    The people of Puerto Rico and Mexico identify with the Spanish less
    than we identify with the British. You'd have a better chance of
    selling a 'Tour of England' to some redneck in Alabama than you would
    the Vuelta to Mexican..... at least based on some "your people" idea.

    Many of us do care bout the Vuelta so if we all list ourselves will
    you then "give a [censored]"?

    On second thought, make up your own mind instead of coasting in my
    slipstream. ;-)

    The thing that makes it interesting to me, year after year, is to
    dust off my old dictionary from college and plod my way through it
    in the native tongue

    http://www.todociclismo.com/vuelta/index.asp

    "Johan Bruyneel has confirmed that Cookie Monster Beltran will participate
    in the Vuelta a Espana after having recuperated satisfactorily from
    the injuries caused by a crash with a motorcycle last July 31st. The
    rider from Jaen will be one of the pillars of Discovery Channel
    during the Spanish tour."

    I don't think they really would prefer the aztec regime back.

    What civil wars?

  7. I love the fact that a grown man is more often than not refered to as
    Cookie Monster instead of his given name.

  8. There aren't many Spaniards in America...and by the way the season is
    actually going to get interesting now.

    It's more like if he were called "Cookie."

    Unfortunately www.trikitrakes.com appears to be down
    for good, but see
    http://www.bigbanganimation.com/static/Animation03.htm
    AFAIK, Triki trakes are (a brand name of) chocolate chip
    cookies.

    Actually it is pretty well documented that El Triki is the Cookie
    monsters name on the spanish version of Sesame Street.

  11. I'd hate to be contractually obligated to ride that tour after having
    spent three weeks in Le Tour hauling water (and Lance) up the Alps and
    Pyrrenies. This is where the ProTour sucks. You either have to
    torture a smaller team, or maintain a large enough roster to field a
    squad of nobodies just to satisfy ProTour rules.

    I wonder if they even bother to send Johan to the Vuelta.

    The Hispanic audience in the States isn't interested in bicycles. They're only
    interested in Toyotas with coffee cans on the exhaust pipe. The Hispanic
    audience not in the States is interested in becoming the Hispanic audience in
    the States.

    Further ethnic cliches available upon further provocation.

    No, it's more like if he were called "Cookie Monster".
