Should Martinelli join the gang as well, then?

Maybe.

But we should definitely not overlook my favourite, Sara Martín Martín. either.

Yes, kind of stupid of me to forget Martin-ez and Martinelli, the possible joker.

Sara Martín Martín makes 19 Martin's

I guess you're right.

I wonder how his career is going to Turnhout.

He definitely belongs in the Chamber of Lies!

Santiago Umba sounds kind of funny.

"Umba" in Polish sounds like onomatopoeia for disco music or something.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Just spotted a rider I did not previously know in the Mexican Olympic team: is it too late for Omar Fraile and Eder Frayre to join the tandem race?

 

[Anderis]

is it too late for Omar Fraile and Eder Frayre to join the tandem race?

Only if Oscar Freire gives a permission.

 

[RedheadDane]

If we're still making tandem teams, Sean Quinn and Quinn Simmons obviously needs to make a team, and then go on and win the coveted "Quinn Stage".

Look at the team of the winner of the Internationale Juniorenrundfahrt!

Looks like he was a bit more than just "okay".

And he was up against a team of cannibals!

I was very happy to see Vera Looser live up to her name in today's Olympic race, as she broke loose from the peloton. In the end she attached herself completely from the race by DNF'ing.

Someone with a sense of humour and lack of interest in correct spelling, should probably suggest her hooking up with Winner Anacona. Not me, though. I lack in both departments.

 

[ciranda]

I like how Vlad Dascălu's name is sort of close to the most infamous/famous Romanian.

 

[Leinster]

Maybe.

But we should definitely not overlook my favourite, Sara Martín Martín. either.

You have a point!

Or, well, Stefan does.

Just imagine the day, when Sam, Sean, and Stefan all start the same race, and the graphics - in all their glorius uselessness - just writes "S. Bennett"...

The big question is of course who has the most S. Bennett-ness between them?
I'm going with Sam, he has had the name the longest.

That's not really fair towards Sean!

 

[sir fly]

Has Pakdi Chillananda been mentioned?

 

[Anderis]

Please let them be in the same breakaway or in the top10 of the same stage!
