Watch Cunego, Ricco, and Nibali. Is Tin-Tin doing the Giro this year?

Young Dekker won me over with his recent tongue-hanging-out Michael
Jordan impersonation. He needs a nickname. Anyone? Anyone at
all...?

>From Wiki - Moreau is known as "Le Chien" - French for "The Dog", as
he always has his tongue out when under pressure. You can't have a
nickname refer to another rider - that would imply a second-rate
status or some sort of subservience. I'm assuming "Moreau's *****"
wouldn't sit too well with Dekker.

Hond? Tong? Tong Hond seems like a spoonerism for well hung, so he'd
probably be okay with that one.

I see Rasmussen is entered for Rabobank. I assume its just a training ride
despite being the Rabobank no. 1 on paper.

Why not? We can do whatever we want to. If we want to give Janne
Ulrick the nickname of "the fat Panntanii" we can. If we want to strip
Merckxx of his nickname "the Cannibal" and give it to OP because really, OP
is going to eat a lot more riders than Merxckx and prevent more TdF wins
than Merckkxk did, we can. In bicycle racing, we are the Law. Well, you
are the Law, I'm more like one of the drunks that hangs out on the
courthouse steps stealing peanuts from pigeons but you need all types in
any judicial system and the point really is that Panttanie may have
objected to being called Elephantino, but when it came down to it the guy
looked like a Ferengi so he really couldn't complain, except maybe that
isn't the point. Whatever. You want fair, you go to Sweden or Norway.
You come here because you want the Law.

Never forget, never forgive, never apologize, never agree, but above all,
obey the six, seven, or eight, commandments. I've lost count.

If you obey the commandments you like, that's all a reasonable person
could ask.

Now I'm going back to rewrite a Simon and Garfunkle song to include,
"I've been puerto'd"; leaning toward, "I been Rolling Stoned and
Puerto'd till I'm blind."

Anyone second the nomination of C. Lefty (could be) Russell for rbr
minstrel?

When Puerto reared it's ugly head,
brave Sir Jan turned and fled!

Everybody, now!

He will probebly be the gruppeto every day. Since he broke his hip
last autum he has only ridden Tour de Romandie (last week).

He won't be in form for anything until TDF, which he will probebly use
as prepreation for qualefyimng for the 2008 MTB Olympics wich his goal.

Can't sing and I play a banjo bcause it makes a great weapon when
necessary. Sure, the guy with the Strad can play better music, but see
what happens when he blocks a full grown Wildwood with that frail
piece of ****.

That seems severe. Maybe you could just Puerto until you need glasses.

Gee but it's great to race bikes
Bikes are where I wanna be, man
I've been on the road so long my friend
And if you raced along
They will come and make you pee

It's the same old story
Everywhere I go,
I get Puerto'd
Tested,
And they won't let me ride in the classics
And I'm one drug away from a positive
Two drugs away from the podium
Just trying to keep the sponsorship satisfied
Satisfied

Director Sportif said to me
Don't tell me what you done today boy
Just pee in the cup and pray
You ain't in trouble boy
Your hematocrit is out the door

It's the same old story
Everywhere I go,
I get Puerto'd
Busted,
And they won't let me ride in the classics
And I'm one drug away from a positive
Two drugs away from the podium
Just trying to keep the sponsorship satisfied
Satisfied
