I'm puzzling over this quote from CN:

"I didn't count on that," he said afterwards. "Look at this
[pointing to his polka dot jersey], how does someone who
weighs *120 kg* get over the mountains. The bad period is
over. I don't have to win the Tour of Mallorca if I want to
be in front in the Tour de France. I'm looking forward to
the Tour of Germany now. It's nice that it goes through the
Alps. There I will test my form."

120 Kg? That guy should be marketing his own diet book.

He's still a little ****** about the endless bratwurst
innuendo (especially from rbr), but turned it into a witz.

I figured it had to be in jest. A look at his face shows
he's pretty lean. I didn't see the double chin he's sported
in the past.

Proof that Jan is better at trolling than half of RBR - and
he doesn't even post here!

(At least, I _think_ he doesn't post here. Anyway, nice to
see he has a sense of humor about the "Jan is fat" circus.)

I updated the report to make it obvious (and of course ruin
the joke). Too many emails along the following lines:

"But 120 kg is 265 lbs?!?!?!"

Now half of RBR (the half that don't have 2 weeks to become
fluent in foreign languages) will be thinking that "zurück"
is German for "fat".

CyclingNews quotes are becoming increasingly strange. They
had Mr Greg Henderson down as saying "golly gosh" the
other day...
 
Over the course of his career Jan has shown nothing,
*nothing*, if not the ability to make great progress in a
short period of time. Especially during periods of
"intensive training".

"Baby Got Back," as Sir Mix-a-Lot would say.

And based on the results he showed in this race, there's
most certainly a motor in the back of Jan's Honda...

Rich appears to have had a nearly incredible ride. Big time
gaps for the first day. Vinokourov in 10th, +77 to Rich and
+52 to Ullrich.

Haha! But I couldn't find when we discussed this. You know
what is unbelievable: the phrase "not unbelievable" has
never appeared on rbr.

Nor has "not incredible" as a double negative meaning
credible.

I was more shocked by Zabel's ride than Jan's. 51st @ 2.39
back. He hasn't been tearing things up but this is more of
a drop off than I expected. I'd guess that this may be the
last year for him. Bill C

His results in the TT stages of the 2003 TdF: 112th,
149th, 89th

His results in the TT stages of the 2002 TdF: 43rd,
144th, 96th

And some donut eater here will make the comment that he
should have quit at the top of his game so that he could
have lost a couple of million dollars and impress the hell
out of idiots.
