Amstel Gold Race -18th April -257km

[Bala Verde]

No one mentioning Ricardo vdVelde?

 

[Moondance]

Again, is treatment of the natives really something the Dutch are in a position to lecture people about

Nope.

Blah blah length requirements blah.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Then why is my city surrounded by agricultural nothingness?
Having room is nice, having a climate that actually allows you to do something with that room is even better.

But enough of this

i will continue this conversation with you later.

 

[Publicus]

seriously publicus, comparing a trip across perth from melb and a trip across holland is ludicrous. two very different trips.

I've done lots of cross country hauls here in the States. Some of the hardest driving I've ever done is getting out of Los Angeles on a Friday to get to Las Vegas. More people means more people trying to get places means more traffic.

Traffic matters.

****Back to the race****

 

[Jamsque]

I don't know why I am defending Australia against Holland to be honest. I love the Dutch, they are super cool people and the Netherlands is a fun place to visit, and Australia is just an upstart colony.

 

[Jamsque]

Pippo and Schlecklet at the back of the group comparing notes on their CN blogs no doubt.

thanks!

except for a tour winner apparently

Indeed aus is quite big in comparison.

geez timmy, boom flonked pretty badly. 1km on the front and then he can't hack it! not that good after all. you dutchies will need to keep waiting for a quality dutch rider at rabo!

 

[Bala Verde]

Good to hear Ducrot and Smeets again. Did anyone kick him already?

 

[ak-zaaf]

thanks!

I can't stand this anymore, I'm off counting all of BMC's wins this year.

...and I'm back

Welcome back....

Dekker Trifosi is in Valkenburg.... If we could get in contact with him we might have found a suiable agent.

Horrible

Typical conversation:
Ducrot: "Wat is die nou aan het doen??? Ik snap er helemaal niets van"
Smeets: "Ik weet niet eens wie het is"

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

thanks!

"I was reading your blog on the CN site"

"I have a blog on the CN site? I heard you had a blog on the CN site?"

"What, I have a blog on the CN site? Is it any good"

"I dont know, I don't check the CN site"

 

[Moondance]

thanks!

Boom had actually been on front for a while. Led the peleton up the Cauberg earlier.

Only mark that BMC have yet made in South Limburg is Cadel's urine stain.

I was thinking more along the lines of

In racing news, where does Velits think he is going exactly?

 

[auscyclefan94]

yes, gesink goes well in races because he pushes riders into barriers. like graeme brown. i wonder if they do specific training for that at rabo?

Yes we need to employ more kicking agents. You guys watching sporza I presume?

Just based on the law of averages you are bound to be right at least once this year. I don't know if it will be this week though.
