that teeny little Swiss cross on Fab's jersey makes me sad...kinda like a little medic's jersey. NOT befitting a proud national champ's.

Spilling hatred on "the French" isn't polite either.

Hatred, huh? I made two observations, regarding the "french crowd": 1) The booeing today showed lack of respect. 2) the episode reminded me of Roland Garros.

I rest my case. Moving on.

Cancellara is in a way the team medic. He also tells the whole peloton to stop whenever one of the Schlecks is down again.

their entrance was something like:they did elevator stage entrance where a part of the stage was down and you couldn't see who was in it. while the stage slowly went up all riders were knelled on 1 knee around hushovd who was up with some hairy wiggy and some sort of hammer.


really really silly even more when you remember how poorly hushovd has been performing this year lol

WTF?? Why?

Now I'm actually quite happy I didn't see it. I don't think I would've been able to stop laughing!

 

[Angliru]

That's a little racist?

For someone that likes to toss the word "hypocrit" around with reckless abandon and just referred to a rider's girlfriend as a "skank".........

 

[Gloin22]

I think he is just playing jokes on you

 

[Angliru]

Given that the Swiss flag is 1:1 (square) that is really a chance missed as it would have been easily possible to come up with a reasonable design.

Has there been any explanation given by Leopard Trek as to why they minimize the designs of their rider's national champion jerseys?

Yes.
Interesting that in Switzerland, the opposite rule applies.
Crash and the Swiss hammer comes down.
I'm sure, were the Schlecks experience the unlikely event of a crash,
BMC will be quite happy to swan around and wait for them to catch up.

 

[Angliru]

no more what?

also i used that pic when the thread was going in the way of dirty jokes

"No more" references to ACF jacking off to Cadel's image on his computer.

well there also references of the hitch doing it looking at a pic of samu

p.s. i thought you were talking about me posting pics would be the first time some1 hated on that XD

 

[Mellow Velo]

I think he is just playing jokes on you

No, unfortunately, he's not.
Hushovd in a girlie wig and large blunt object, while the rest of the team kneeled in subjugation
A truly awful sight.

This presentation really stunk of far too much French cheese.

CN forum, what it all comes down to, a bunch of masturbating clowns... feels like 4chan

No it actually happened. It was funny and pathetic at the same time (0;

Cos the team jersey looks so awesome that it musnt be overshadowed by a national jersey and that the sponsors dont like their colours not to be shown.... or not

It is little awkward coming from a guy who has his idol holding middle finger as an avatar.

 

[hrotha]

Didn't Leopard say they were going to redesign Fränk's national champion jersey at some point? What they did to Cancellara's jersey is a disgrace. At least Unzue's teams had real sponsors whose colours they wanted to show, but Leopard?

PS: I'm all for booing.

I didn't believe it either until I saw it:

I didn't believe it either until I saw it:

The HORROR!!!!

I think I'm glad I missed that!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Thor's big tool.

 

[mewmewmew13]

jeez.
I'm embarassed for Thor

 

[Jeanne]

ES didn't show him that close, holy s*it that really very funny! poor Thor, WTF!?!?

 

[Karl Max]

I didn't believe it either until I saw it:

Thor is holding the hammer Mjølner, which is the hammer Thor the thunder god use to creat thunder. According to nordic mythology when Thor the thunder god swings the hammer the thunder comes. His team mates is praising Thor the god of thunder. Quite funny I think when you understand the references.

 

[Thomsena]

This whole presentation was a freak show. What happend to a simple presentation with the riders on their bikes. This was ridiculous and my idea of how the french are as people in general has not changed a bit.
