Favorite quotes from the peloton

[RedheadDane]

Who is Dave?

A rider who was being interviewed by the Television channel.

 

[Carstenbf]

Must be Dave Z. Here's a typical interview ..

TV2: So what's your plan for today?
Dave: I'm going to drink a lot of water.
TV2: And what about the race?
Dave: I'm going to do the race also. AND drink a lot of water.

TV2: How are you today?
Dave: I'm fine, thanks, how are you?
TV2. Fine.

 

[RedheadDane]

Of course it was Zabriskie... I mean; who else would answer the "what're your plans for the stage?" with "I'm going to drink a lot of water!"?
But, hey! At least he's polite...

You just posted the same quoted I posted...

@mickrogers If anyone found my SRM box after yesterday's crash with 15km to go can you please return it! Thank you

 

[Echoes]

It seems there is much the French could learn from us Anglos. First and foremost on the list should be how to win the Tour de France.

Epitomizes what I'd just said.

1) I'm not French
2) I don't give a f*cking damn about Bore de France.

 

[RedheadDane]

"They rode as if they'd all stolen their bikes."

Fuglsang after today's stage.

 

[RedheadDane]

(Why do I get the feeling I'm always reviving these "citation threads"?)

Anyway...

Quaade: (after his crash during the ITT): I slipped in the corner and then I crashed.

Oh... really? You don't say!

Haha brilliant I love Boogie

I have a unimaginable hate for French riders.

'Kut' is dutch for a part of a womans body, which refers to an animal

"Michael Boogerd is such a dumba.ss."

Bump.

This is one of the best things on here, so why the hell is it back here.

I want to put in a quote from Jose de Cauwer, I don't know when he said it, but when he did my brother and I couldn't stop laughing.

"Ze zijn 't kaf van 't koren aant smijten hè"

Dunno if it's a typical Flemish though. But to a Dutch person it's just too funny.


Then for the Anglo's

Brank Tankink on Ricco after the latter's positive in the Tour 2008

"What would you say to him?"
"I'd punch him in the face. That's what I did yesterday by the way, in the descent, cause he's just such a brat. [continues rant]"

 

[RedheadDane]

"I'm f... really tired."

Chaves during the 2015 Vuelta.

 

[staubsauger]

"For the first time I was very happy about the time trial course. And thought I could do the time trial of my life ... and I certainly did!"

(Michael Rasmussen after his legendary final tt of the 2005 Tour de France)

I think my favourite quote has to be

2nd place is no good

~ Alberto Contador

 

[Red Rick]

From the Sporza liveticker today:

If Thomas sticks out his tongue, he can lick Contador

Dafuq I just read

Oooooh la la la la la Houston we have a problem, Tom Tom Tom Tom Tom...... as Fabian pulls away from Tom. The only words I understood while watching 5 + hours

Love these guys. It's amazing how much you get from them while not understanding a word they are saying.

I think he actually said "Balen we have a problem".

Jose de Cauwer is the best cycling commentator that I know of. Doesn't say unneccesary things, no stupid things. Has a looot of knowledge. Just great, hope he doesnt retire.

 

[Vesica]

ow come on! De Cauwer and Wuyts say a lot of unnecessary things. They have indeed knowledge, but sometimes they're completely mistaken. Yesterday they kept talking about Ten Dam riding for LottoJumbo...plus they really overhype every Belgium move. A rider from Belgium just has to blink and they get enthusiastic. Dutchies Ducrot and Dijksta also talk a lot of nonsense sometimes, but I prefer it above Sporza.

The Dutch are also funny. Only Ducrot knows his *** and and he has the somebof the best oneliners. Dijkstra only does the biggest races, amd even then hes just there for the casual audience, he knows nothing amd only talks scenery. Smaller races they put Mart smeets with ducrot, but he fucks up all the names and saysbthe 5 things he always says. The Belgians know so much more about the sport, though Wuyts sometimes annoys me.

The dutch are pretty bad in their hyping of dutch riders as well.

I sometimes like the spajish or italiaj commentary on streams or videos, even though I barely understand whatbtheyre talking about

 

[Vesica]

Smeets commentary is ridiculous, keeps saying Tamarai instead of Taramae for example. He was really good in his late evening talkshow at the Tour. Last year sucks, but now we got Herman!

sorry non-dutchies, I went a bit off-topic

Italian or Spanish streams are indeed not that bad.

 

[staubsauger]

Migels and Leclercq are also great compared to Kirby to be fair!
