The Thread about Nothing....

Llama spotted on the Tourmalet according to SBS

Had the whole peloton there too! "Brownie", pictured on the outside, was reported to the UCI for illegal drafting, which was in fact arrse-sniffing.

Oh yeah, why was there no extended preview last night? Or was there? Popular demand, or just nothing to offer?

Before the stage? Most night the live feeds only kick in at 10:30, so they add filler. Last night the stage was covered live from km 0, so they flicked to it as soon as they could.

Hmm, I see.

Hey, did someone post that pic on here of Evans pissing on the bike, or was that somewhere else? It's a pic of him pissing while being pushed by two team-mates.

So they're talking in the Ballarat paper about turning the run-down 'theme park' Kryal Castle into a brothel. No major changes required as the owner has fcuked it for the past 20 years....

Anyhow, the comments are alight with passion and opinion. The pick of the bunch being:



...and now he's just 'walking' away from it all? The sooner someone nukes the Internet the better.

Hey, I still ride my 1988 Raleigh once a month (8sp, quill stem, and all), and when I do so, I polish the chrome and other shiny bits, so that the turkeys I'm dropping know full well I'm on an old 10kg clunker. Also, I'm the only guy left on Beach Rd with 32-spoke wheels and 'natural' aluminium hub shells.

1988 and 8spd do not compute... 7 speed and if youre fancy, 7401 dura ace.

Speaking of 7401, one of the lads that came over for the not so Death Ride, finally got hold of a NOS 7401 headset to compliment the absolutely mint condition 7401 groupset.

I think its about time for me to part ways with some old Campag stuff - like original Super Record cranks (with several chainrings) Croce D'Aune delta brakes and aero seatpost.

... But the old super record hubs will have to be ripped out of my cold dead hands.

Hmmm, I think I can solve this 'scientific' 'white baby' mystery without the assistance of expensive genetic testing.

She's actually thinking... "Thank Christ he didin't ask about the other two."

Yep, I reckon it's fairly obvious - my money's on Thylo.

Bah! Don't need to be old, just need to be a Monty Python fan!

Yeah, I know, but hey......I wanted them fancy STIs

Nice.
Actually, I've only got the 8sp Dura-Ace derailleurs and shanks, but the levers and headset are lowly 600.

Hey, my genes are so rubbish, if my wife was black, my kid would be too.

OK - Three pages late..... but its caption contest time!

Jens was so impressed by Thomas Voeckler he copied his position on the bike

The last word on the Contador/Schleck hissy fit IMO, via Christian Vandevelde on Twitter.

Typical legend. "If you draw your sword and you drop it, you die." - Ryder Hesjedal regarding Shleck's dropped chain and Cantador's (sic)attack.

classic1 suspects that Hesjedal stole that quote off Hinault, or was 'channeling' the Badger.

Christian VandeVelde has to say that because he'll never be in a position to draw his sword in anger. It always seems like he trips over his own feet and stabs himself in the gut or is missing a few toes by stage 3.

I think he's managed to finish one Grand Tour out of ten unscathed...
