Re: Pro encounters of the first kind!
I got dropped by Dougie Ryder and his training bunch on Jan Smuts hill the other day ;D
It was a case of Hi . . . Bye (Sorry, haven't met or seen any pro 's of any real significance in the global arena)  |

Re:Pro encounters of the first kind!
Well I live in belgium its much better there when you want to meet real top cyclists. <br />I helped with the opening ceremony of the track championships and there were also the boss of the tour the france and lance armstrong, who made the da of a lot of the children who where in the ceremony. <br />I spent the rest off the day in the infield between the various national teams(always nice when you know security).<br />Some of my training partners have become pro with teams like Vlaanderen 2002 and Rabobank. Most of the top cyclist of 20-22 years old I raced with. I met when training Mario Aerts next year Telekom, Both Wauters and Boogerd from Rabobank, once crashed with Adri van Der Poel, and many others. <br />One of my occasional training mates rode the Vuelta once and the father of one of the young cyclists i coach rode tour the France.<br />I also have a team mate who's World Champion Cyclo-cross.<br />

Re:Pro encounters of the first kind!
Vo2 I can try, but the really big names like boogerd Aerts are just encounters(which was the base topic) like I said . <br />And the others were I come from whe speak dutch and I know I make a lots of mistakes and I am afraid most of my friends dont master enough english to come here and chat. <br /><br />I am also on a dutch (holland) based forum where regulary come real pro's, one even game evening comments to his performance in the tour but you will have to master Dutch To understand

Re:Pro encounters of the first kind!
Well, I guess we can all say we have 'met' Dianne Emery? The women's times in the 94.7 would probably have been much slower if not for her aggression.... So do Pro encounters to be count?

Ons praat Afrikaans hier, so geen probleem, hoor.<br />Dutch is fine, believe me. There are a few members here that can speak Afrikaans, so I'm sure we can roughly translate to the rest of the board.

Re:Pro encounters of the first kind!
Well jou can take a look at the dutch forum on. http://www.prikpagina.nl/list.php?num=173<br /><br />Some of the pro's use there real names, others are fake but this is most times very obvious. People to look out for are Pistier (nick) John den Braber Former Pro Road/Track racer and now teamleader of a small dutch pro team. The number one gest is obviously kenner (dial in via wxs) the man behind this nick is Gerrie Kneteman one of the best dutch riders ever and the national coach<br /><br />There's also a cyclo-cross forum on http://www.prikpagina.nl/list.php?f=527 where various sub top riders come and several of the top riders in teh veterans category and people like their national coach<br /><br />Moderaters if the links aren't allowed please remove tehm i added them as an answer where to some of these people most peple do use nick but when you read carefully you will find out who's who. Most of them dont like question as who's who because they have been asked this already several times.
