The Swiss have Fjords. Or was that Fiats.

I thought that the Swiss had Floyds (but not anymore:-)

There are actually two distinct types of Dutchies. Those blue-eyed
blonde Frisians from the north of the river Maas, and the
olive-skinned, dark-haired, brown-eyed Dutchies from South of the
Maas. By a complete coincidence the banks of the Maas was the
northern limit of the Spanish occupation in the 15th and 16th
centuries. The darkies are also mostly catholic, like the Spanish.
The spanish had previously gained their colouring from the Moorish
invasion from Africa of their country a few centuries earlier.

What are you suggesting Theo?

That there is no such thing as a pure race of people, particularly not in
Europe. People moved about, and they screwed the nearest available person,
without discussing the genealogy of their possible offspring first. In the
case of the Dutch, the most obvious pairings were with the Scandinavians in
the North, and the Spanish in the South. Pairings with French or Germans
would be less obvious as the locals had all been screwing each other for
millennia.

Theo[/QUOTE]ooohh...

reminds me of the statement from a Dutch "friend"

"...sex is like changing a flat tire on a bicycle... something you do regularly, but its just a tube... we dutch ride a lot, the flats are inevitable"

so matter of fact!...refreshing or just dutch!...it was repeated hilariously when I read this little tome "The Undutchables"

it's amazing that a guy that rode a good Pyrenees OR a good Alps but
was never consistent enough for GC, and was a poor time trial rider, is
now riding consistently well day after day with excellent recovery
powers. It does raise suspicions somewhat.

Steroids to improve time trialling would have diminished his climbing.
EPO or doping would boost him, but are short term so there is no benefit to
screwing up out-of-season testing.

This time trial included a cat 4 climb and Rassmussen's previous problems
involved falling off a bike alot, there was some room for natural
improvement.

But of course these days any increase in perforance, or failure to perform
as before, is suspicious.
