Tamu back to SP Tableware http://www.biciciclismo.com/cas/site/noticias-ficha.asp?id=66961

kicking himself after the first two stages...

How about as a compromise, a big bottle of (unmarked) sidra :) A shame IGGy is still going to be there. Is Frerie still working for Katusha? Galdeano wanted him to join up last year. Maybe Santander can convince him. It will be very interesting to see how and if they keep ties with PV, aside...

You're right. Seeing as how Orbea (Mondragon), Iberdrola, la Fundacion, and iberdrola got embarrassed by having their home team taken away from them maybe now they can chip in a half-million Euro each. The Pro-Conti team needs to survive. And needs to stay 'solo vasco'.

On the kit of course :) How about the Ikurrina & The Asturian flag, that'd be cool? The revenge of North Spain!!

I hope to see them. Rumors are Colnago or the Asturian MMR.

^this. It's a real slap in the face for supporters of Basque cycling. Nevermind the Basque banks that didn't step up, how about the big boys like Iberdrola? Maybe a consortium of businesses could have pooled together 10-12 million Euro. Now we will not see Orbea in the peloton. Nor will...

Harmon & Kelley are certainly tops for English commentary, however you can't beat Teledeporte's crew of Carlos de Andrés and Perico....and Juan Carlos en moto! ETB's basque crew is the most disappointing. I'm sure they're intelligent and insightful as I understand only 10% of what they're...

there's a very large appreciation thread for him. Go find it

man crush Had the opportunity to snap a few fotos with Samu at last years VPV after missing out in the '09 Vuelta a Espana. This man is nothing but absolute pure class. Truly the darling of his adopted Euskal Herria. Poor guy couldn't get out of the 'pit' area because he was gracious enough to...

Bravo Samuel! Hey BillytheKid, I'm new to Albuqeurque! Can we send pm's on this thing?

This^ is spot-on. Yesterday I was flipping thru the channels and landed on this show. Full of shock-jocks and baseball neanderthal commentators, I saw at the bottom of the screen the upcoming topics which included the TdF. I knew boobery was to ensue once they got to the topic and I was curious...

LOL! those tiny basques get bounced around on the cobbles like ping-pong balls!

that comment just shook me. Couldn't have said it better myself, summarizes greatly my intrigue in Klodi all these years. well done!

indeed. he must have a treasure trove of stories! Would love to see a book out someday ;)
