Anyone seen the Devil?

[55by11]

Haven't seen any sign of Didi Senft, the German roadside devil, for quite some time. Anyone know his status? I miss him!

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

I saw him in Amsterdam the day before the race started, but did not see him during the race at any time.

He was very briefly shown on TV during one of the Giro mountain stages last week. Sorry, can't remember which stage.

is this the guy with the trident in edradar's avatar?
if so, then i saw him about three times during the giro

 

[sida-mot]

I think he is still around but doesn't get the media cover he used to. I saw him in the giro as well.

 

[slowoldman]

He was in the coverage a few times. Generally you smell Didi before you see him. If he is around, you want to stand up wind from him.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

I saw him 2-3 times once every week and a couple of times in coverages he was there

 

[Nicoper]

He was very bad positioned in this Giro. Usually at the bottom of the climb. At TT on Plan de Coronos he was before first time check.

I bet he will say he had a back injury, fever or strained trident but he didn't like to make excuses.

Thanks folks, good to know he's still out there doing what he does

 

[euanli]

Isn't he sponsored by red bull now and thats why the TV cameras stay away from him?

 

[brianf7]

I saw him in Italy several times and in Califonia so he gets around quick or he has a brother or brother in law.

I saw him in Italy several times and in Califonia so he gets around quick or he has a brother or brother in law.

The test would be to see if he could still do an awesome vertical jump. Someone here would have a photo of one of these jumps. Impressive for a heavily build middle aged man. Hope he gets a bit of sponsorship and sticks around; a bit of a GT icon.

No offense to Didi, I'm sure he's a nice guy-but his act is old and tired already.

Don't we all wish we had enough time and disposable income to be seen at almost every major race on the European calendar.

 

[fergnago]

I stood about 6feet away from him at lake annecy last year and boy did he pong!

 

[Roland Rat]

He was very briefly shown on TV during one of the Giro mountain stages last week. Sorry, can't remember which stage.

Yep, I saw him then too. I think it must have been the Gavia stage, as that was the only stage I saw of the last week.

I was surprised he's still alive.

As for his jump - HGH. No doubt.

 

[valentius borealis]

I remember seeing him either on Monte Grappa or Lo Zoncolan, and then on the Plan de Corones TT.

 

[Wallace]

He's in third place right now at the Tour de Luxembourg.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

 

[51...topgun]

ouch, but nI'm sure the devil did more races this year than the 3rd place foundator

 

[theswordsman]

Just saw a new article about him. He's in the Guinness Book Of World Records for a hundred bike designs.
