Anyone seen the Devil?

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

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

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

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.:p

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.

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.

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.

;)
