A coffee and a small Danish.

While Bastian Damiens has two brothers who are also cyclists: Bastien and Bastien.

Basta with the Bastiens

I know it's possible to become your own grandpa, but becoming your own two brothers sounds extreme.

How can he join a Belgian team when he's clearly become pretty French?

Also why does he want horse cheese?

Back to the thought about bedtime stories; maybe Jonas?

He seems perfectly non threatening and since I'm a forum baby celebrating my first ever forum birthday it should be a story of a stuffed animal riding its first three wheel bicycle. Maybe a lion could suit.

I admit I do prefer the giro wolfie, but another favorite is the wasp/bee/bumblebee from Pologne.

I guess it's decided. Jonas telling a story about a giant bumblebee on his first bike.

Thought experiment:
Imagine if riders were paid in whatever their sponsors did; which team would you like to ride for if that was the case - and you could ride for a team?

Trek-Segafredo! Especially the 'Segafredo' part; coffee is always nice.
Guess riding for a team that's sponsored by a grocery store chain would come in handy too; providing you'd get free shopping.

If you ask politely, then maybe Krista Doebel-Hickok will let you borrow her teddy bear, Olly, for this special occasion. Happy birthday, noob, though I'm a day late

Surely you'd want to ride for a team like Caja Rural, which is sponsored by a bank. Or perhaps Drone Hopper with its 200 different sponsors.

Unless UAE, Bahrain, or IPT can pay up area the size of those countries, nobody would ride for them.

Have you seen a Caja Rural bank anywhere in Denmark?

Free vacation time in those countries.
Not for me either.

If only there was some way you could manage you finances without ever having to visit a bank branch. Maybe they'll be able to create such a system during the next century.

I still think it's generally advisable to use a bank that actually operates in your country. I haven't actually physically been to a bank for years; don't even know where my branch is.

Your local branch could already be in Spain then.

Also if you were a cyclist riding or a Spanish team, you'd might move to Spain or Andorra.

I think I have a branch somewhere in Århus. Spain is not local, unless you're in Spain.

There's apparently also a Norwegian Martin Salmon, but even RhD would call him old

It appears he doesn't even have a birth date!
He was born in 1992? Definitely not old!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He was either born in year zero or 1 BC.

Wait, are you looking at it in desktop mode? Cause in the mobile version, it says he's a 2022 year old cyclist from Norway.

Ariostea. Lots of nice stones.

Or maybe Saunier Duval-Prodir. Then you'd both get lots of nice warming pumps and pens!

For a salmon that should be quite old, otherwise perfectly edible

This link talks about salmons and cycles, so should be fit for the topic.

Aged.

At Bic you would get both pens, lighters and shaving products.

If Lotto or FdJ paid in tickets, that might, just might, become a very rewarding deal. Otherwise If you get paid with bits of Bahrain or UAE, digging could be worthwhile.

Intermarché or Jumbo should at least be able to provide all basic household needs.

The notion of being paid in Andy Schlecks is of dubious ethics.

I would not be allowed to be paid in Top Girls ("because I already have you, and you are the only top girl I need, my darling...")

Not least the cloning part!

The team is closing at the end of the season, so the riders don't have to fear such payments.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

If he can be cloned indefinitely, he would be worthless as a currency for payment.

Turns out Suez - the new co-sponsor of the women's FDJ - makes water treatment equipment (or whatever the term is).
That could come in handy, and they actually have a department in Århus, quite close to where I work.

But the team is losing the Futuruscope theme park as a sponsor, so their riders may get less funny now.

I wouldn't want to be in the dutch team called Orange Babies Cycling team.
