huge fan of Jan...

[Tamyka Bell]

How's this for showing your alliance just that little bit moreso than
everyone else...

As I rode out of uni today, I passed a parked car, with hot pink plates,
"JAN 05"

cute, eh?

Nice. Subtle.

bahah. my dad's name is Jan, but pronounced 'Yarrrn',
not 'yan' like all dem luddites keep sayin.

sadly that person has to show how misled their faith is now...

Strangely nobody has talked of 'Diesel's' retirement after this year.
If all his rhubarb about 'beating the best' is true he may as well chuck it in as Basso will probably whip his **** next year, no?

Safe bet since Ivan has been the only one to hold onto LA. Actually
given Jan's poor performance in the last two stages I think he should
just take a header and save himself the embarasement. Let Vino, Kloden,
Basso and Landis try to take LA.

At least I wouldn't have to put up with Jan's "I need more fibre in my
diet" expressions all the time.

Cheers

AFAIR it was like this:
1996 Bjarne wins Tdf, Jan is second and wins white jersey for best new
Pro. In 1997 Bjarne was expected to defend his title but wasn't fit
enough (strange, that seems to happen to all TMO/Tekekom riders...) and
Jan got the yellow jersey. Bjarne (why do i want to type 'Byarrrne'??)
wasn't happy with himself and team support, so he wanted to win the last
single time trial stage. He had two technical problems within 1km after
abou 30% of the stage. After the second defect he threw away his bike
(he' s still world recor holder in time-trial-bike-distance-throwing).
He had to be calmed down by the crew to continue his ride.

With Vinokurow in the DSC team??

We used to have some time trials and one guy had trained hard and was
all psyched up to do a really fast time. When he finished slower than
his PB he was so ****** off he threw his bidon at a tree with such a
force that it split the bottle, he also did a Bjarne Riis type bike
throw. Some time later someone snuck out and retrieved the bidon. It was
mounted on a wooden block and presented later on in the year at the club
presentations for the biggest dummy spit.

My brother in law's name is Jan and it's pronounced Yan, not Yarrrn. It's pronounced differently in different parts of Europe (my brother in law is Danish).

Speaking of prison.. I finally tasted your balls Dutchy!! Very nice, I must say!

They were handed over the bar to me, steaming hot, with a warning to "break them open a bit first". I tried some mustard on one but really preferred them "plain".

Not particularly salty and made of veal, I think.
