Why not, its a good pickle?

Or will it have to play second fiddle in a second rate TDF sandwich?
 
Andrew: Whats this im hearing through the grape vine about some new number 1 contender threatening to spoil things

Mcquack: Its just Wonderlance Andy. I wouldnt take it to seriously. Relax

Andrew: : Pat. I told you to take out EVERYONE !!!!

Mcquack: Andy. Its an inanimate f***ing object

Andrew: : YOUR AN INANIMATE F***ING OBJECT!!!!
(takes a few breaths to calm down).
We cant leave this to chance. Maybe the reason it looks like cold food, is because its the cold dish old man Bjarne been waiting to serve up. You know. Revenge.

Mcquack: so your saying you think this is what Bjarne big plan Ok, but we never considered a pickle to be a contender for the To....

Andrew: : I DONT Care what you considered!!! Find it. But clearly the soft method we used on Geox isnt working. We need to set an example. Find it and feed it to that guy whos always eating.

Mcquack; You mean Eddy?

Andrew: : yes. Merckx

Mcquack: Wow. You're cold Andy. Youd make a very good UCI president.

I don't know. It looks a bit chubby pre-season. Needs to lose some weight. What's its VOMax and off-season crit value?
 
WARNING THIS JOKE CONTAINS SCENES THAT MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME AND PUT MY ADMIN STATUS AT RISK! (oh well in the words of Marc Almond "live a little - rent a hareem - meet bo derek and beat up tarzan")...

This couple comes to a new town and the guy gets a job at the local pickle factory. A few years go by and each year he wins the employee of the year award. One day in the 3rd year, he comes home looking all depressed.

His wife asks him what the matter is, to which he responds that he got fired.

"FIRED?!? How can you get fired, you're always employee of the year!!" she asked, stunned.

To this he responds that he had a fantasy that he needed to fulfill and it got him fired...

"Oh no, not again...What did you do this time?" she asks.

Well, I always fantasized about sticking my willy in the pickle slicer.

"You didn't!" she hoped.

He blushed and replied, "Well, yes I did."

Then she asks, "Did it hurt?"

"No no really," answers the man.

Puzzled she then asks, "Well what happened to the pickle slicer??"

He answers, "Oh, *she* got fired too!"

Determined to get yourself in a pickle?

Then I might as well join you.

Early rumours that the pickle is on the juice are already denied by Pickle Rock management, who insist that his sudden rise to a top contender spot is purely thanks to a switch to a strictly vegan juice regime, supplemented with an intense training regime that consists mostly out of making sure your picture taken with cyclists who are actually paid for their training rides. Take it from Jason, you too could look like this!

these guys may have a chance to beat that one

Although two pickles working together will generally beat a teamless pickle, ala Cadel Evens, Im concerned of the colour of these pickles could possibly indicate boosting.

Come on people, this thread is ridiculous. A pickle winning Le Tour? A pickle? As in the green vegetable? Not a chance, especially not that pickle. It's too stocky to make it over the mountains without being dropped. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it looks fat. Now, I know Jan Ullrich won back in '97, but even he never suffered the lack of form this pickle clearly is.

The gherkin below, on the other hand. Wow. WOW. Small, light, lean, toned, good with sharp metal points... I'm calling it now - this gherkin is going to do the Giro-Tour double in 2011.

Undoubtably no ............ given that the tour this year suits your more agile/climber type "Gherkin" / "julienned carrot" , I feel the more muscular/robust Pickle shown ... not in official team kit I might add .... will struggle with the higher peeks.

However, if as proven in the past, that some "peanut" continues to get good lead outs in the sprints then stage wins are quite possible.

Pickle expert?

Wouldn't fruitboy the gung-ho vegan know if this Pickle was sufficiently juiced up to win Le Tour? Or maybe he's in a pickle with his super hot girlfriend?
