    So disapointing. Not you.

    THE TONGUE!!!!!

  3. What happened to Vettel? [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comnerd.png[/IMG]

  4. Gears became as square as his head.

  5. ah, I see

  6. Ha.
    in his slightly broken English, Bakelandts -- when talking about Chavanel in the short breakaway -- came up with a much nicer way of saying 'wheel-sucking crunts': "the guys in his wheel were profiting from his efforts"

  7. I see the "gorilla" rode like an dumb ape, trying to slot into "the gap that wasn't" and caused the big stack towards the end of the stage1 - ripping his rear mech clean off his bike as he rode into Tony Martin with the force of a wrecking ball... No need for [censored] like that with over 5km to go. I thought we'd see less off that since Tylar Farrar was told to stay home...

  8. Pioneer - the company better known for electronic goodies is now in the power meter game. Cav sporting hydraulic rim brakes - maybe that's one of the reasons he managed to stop in time during yesterday's big stack that left a ton of riders looking like road kill. Fun day in the hills yesterday - 320km became 200km and finished with me sitting in the grass wondering where I was and why I was dressed in cycling gear sitting next to someone else's bike.

    Has been around for a while. Looks like a complete POS. Just as expensive as SRM.

    Goodness! [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comsurprised.png[/IMG]

  11. Yeah, who are those no-names that Jono's carrying?
    [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comcool.png[/IMG]

    Hey, Jono. Ed Phillips reckons he can ride, right? Have ya smashed him yet? [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comzipped.png[/IMG]

    Is that Gates? Does he still ride?

  12. Has everyone seen Sagan 'parking' his bike? [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comsurprised.png[/IMG]

    I respect any lady who says "with enough KY jelly anything is possible" [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comdevil.png[/IMG]

  14. Incidentally, has anyone heard the tossy pronunciations of his name by commentators?
    I naturally thought it would be pronounced the good-old Aussie way: "Peter Sayg'n", but I've heard "Peter Saygar" and "Petta S'garn"

    Fairly handy on the bike handling front 😉 If I tried that I'd either not get the front wheel high enough and plant my face on the hood or manage to get the front wheel up in the air and sink chainring teeth into the bonnet.

    Classo thinks similar things every night when he dreams of Maggie Thatcher.

    One of the American commentators uttered what sounded like Petra Saggin. For some reason the first thing that came to mind was a Russian lass that'd spend too many years breast feeding and was now "gravitationally challenged"

    So a bit like Quarq - but for a few dollars more...

    Ah yeah, I've heard "Saggin", too. [IMG]files.cyclingforums.comstress.png[/IMG][IMG]files.cyclingforums.comdead.png[/IMG]

    Cav'll nut you if he hears you talk about his English bride that way.
