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.

Even without the references it's still funny in a "what the hell is this trainwreck and who the hell greenlighted it?" kind of way.

That was so incredibly bad...so just what is it that distinguishes us from american wrestling as a sport? That was friggin embarassing...aimed at 12 year boys...and not in a GOOD way...the eurovision song show comes off better and more respectable...seriously, as a cycling fan, that was the worst thing I have ever seen presentation wise...who gave this the greenlight? they should be fired right away...and if I were on garmin and on my knees and had any talent I would be calling my agent to get me the h#ll out of my contract...my god...I can't even put it into words without going all freaky here...leave the lotion by the data stack please and go...just leave and don't call again...I mean it...

wow, alongside the re-redesign of the Garmin jerseys to use Arygle, this might be the *only* decent thing JV has done f0r the world of cycling (or even his team) this year! Flashy over the top shows are always good. Kionda like how awesome the baso/nibbles cooking shoes adverts are amongst my favourite as they are so surreal

From what I can tell, nobody greenlighted it - Garmin made it up themselves after finding a couple of props. (I may be wrong though). It made a change from the standard processions, so I welcome it.

What I want to know is why BMC came in on a truck - that's not very Roman.
