A coffee and a small Danish.

[tobydawq]

I was not much present on the forum last week but was there really nobody to appreciate that Thomas and Thomas wore a pink leader's jersey in two races simultaneously?

 

[RedheadDane]

Hey, @tobydawq, I've had "Dydydydydy dydyd, STEVE" on my brain all day!

(please note, my "dydydy" might not be an accurate depiction of the melody.)

With 24 hours of Le Mans going on I think Tour should once have a Grand Depart there and of course have TTT around the circuit (which is about 13 km) as an opening stage.

Maybe have a 24 hour TTT/relay to start with?

If the TdF ever goes to the USA you could start in Indianapolis. 500-mile race around the speedway. If there's a crash Christian Prudhomme comes out on a safety derny.

I won a bit of money betting on Sagan today. It was J1 team Sagan Tosu, but it could still be a good sign for Peter ahead of tomorrow's RR.

Looks like I totally cursed him instead. I'm so sorry, Peter.

And I may have to apologise to another rider soon, since I've just won some more money after a guy named E. Bernal scored a goal.

Not exactly a "Small Danish", but looks like someone's been getting hairstyling tips from his teammate!

 

[RedheadDane]

I've realised you can actually make a nice little "chain" with brothers on different (WT) teams:

Adam Yates (UAE)
Simon Yates (Jayco)
Callum Scotson (Jayco)
Miles Scotson (FDJ)
Lars Van den Berg (FDJ)
Marijn Van den Berg (EF)

So a 3.5km TT to end the Sibiu Tour. If a short TT at the start is a Prologue, should this not be called an epilogue instead of Stage 5?

Take this with a huge grain of salt. Here's a study of faces of prepubertal boys. (Studies later on has confirmed this study too so it's legit for (primarily white) prepubertal boys.

Here are some more example pics.

Something about those faces looks eerily familiar

What on Earth is the point of this?

Nothing make sense today.

The small Danish was definitely going well today, but I read DNP-Old actually spat out his coffee after reading a post. Guess you can‘t have it all.

 

[RedheadDane]

There seem to be some confusion about Danish names. Basically, the only rule is, that we can only have one surname. Other names that look like they could be surnames, and that some riders are primarily known by, are actually middle names.
However, how a person's name is combined is really up to their parents, and themselves in case of marriage.

 

[RedheadDane]

Turns out that if you combine the - translated-into-English - surnames of the two FDJ DS'es at the TdF, you get...
Pretty (Joly) Cursed (Mauduit). Make of that what you will.

The coffee is still great-Italian blend from Aldi (I’m a big spender). Most of the Danish pastries have the usual consistency and high quality but they’ve brought one back that I never liked, renamed it several times and I just don’t think it will ever be a best seller.

 

[RedheadDane]

Would it be possible for someone to post a collection of all the (UAE) nonsense-talk in the radio?

I dream to see a situation where Tour de France KoM would be decided in the 4th category climb during the Champs-Elysées stage.

Helped by a small Danish (and a bigger one)?

 

[RedheadDane]

Hmm... in men's races it's "KoM", in women's races in "QoM". Why not a gender-neutral term?

"Monarch of the Mountains"
"Ruler of the Climbs"
"Best Climber" (but that's boring)

"Monarch of the Mountains"

How about adding a few categories?

"Shah of Stair Climbing"
(maybe a rest day activity award, part of Pogi palmares after LBL crash he should be a favourite)

"President of Pedestrian Slaloming"
(as crowd behavior trends towards, this award will rapidly turn out prestigeous)

"Duke of Dutch Rubbing"
(Some guys in the peleton I can imagine winning the jersey unintentionally as a part of their natural behavior)

 

[RedheadDane]

"Duke of Dutch Rubbing"

Is this only for Dutch riders? Or is it awarded for rubbing the Dutch?

Dunno which track my mobile went off, brught some smiles here anyway.
But "Dictator of Dutch Rubs" then.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sultan of Sprints?

Fakir of Falling?

Prince of Punctures?

Tetrarch of Tumbles?
