Yeaaa... no. I don't think so.


If any of the riders currently on the team gets into a position to either get knocked off their bike or win a big race, that would already be quite surprising. The "as usual" bit I don't agree with, you must have forgotten about Milan-San Remo or the Giro, for instance (they weren't that long ago...)

Probably not, but you gotta stay positive. It would be a shame for Boom, as this year should be the year for him to get some results.

The latter ofcourse was a joke, as Rabobank's reputation when it comes to tactics isn't that great. Milan-San-Remo and the Giro were big wins ofcourse but when you consider the money they spend on cycling it, unfortunately, isn't enough.

Hoping for the best though. At least it's hopeful they're not all peaking at this moment, like last year.

Their big money riders brought them those wins... currently they don't have any. I think Freire's wages now pay for the women's team?

Unless Renshaw now makes a million euros.

Well, they sure did but apart from Menchov's GT wins it was usually all down to Freire to secure some big wins for Rabo. And funnily enough, you could let the guy be his own team because he rarely needs his team mates anyway.

Renshaw, why did they even sign him...

Can someone tell the two birds to hurry the **** up on that court? How I hate tennis. Worse than baseball.
 
Cow can't finish her match and so we will have late Euroshiite again.
Apparently, the track cycling was butchered last night as well.
Commentator says crowd would be very happy for this match to go on.
Clearly, he doesn't give a f**k about all the cyclists watching and waiting.

Looks like Azarenka is done in about 10-15 minutes. Perfect.

If only the top women tennis players could live up to expectations:rolleyes:
Anyway gap is down to under 2 minutes..
