The "g"-sound in Dutch is comparable to the "j" in Spanish "Jose", so it's an obvious choice for an English speaker who can pronounce neither of those sounds to replace both by "h".

Here you can hear the pronunciation right at the beginning

Bobby g has funny eyebrows...

Graham Brown extends with Rabobank until the end of 2011. I guess winning sprints at the Jayco Bay Classic is good enough to keep your PT contract. As well as knocking down sprinters who at their peak were twice the sprinter you ever will be.

Every team needs a B-list sprinter, to send to such races as the Ronde van het Groene Hart, Tour of Austria, Tour Down Under, and what have you. Although Brown should probably be happy that Theo Bos went to Cervélo, otherwise Graeme would be without contract right now.

Don't forget Zeeland tour and Eneco tour.

Denkoff, i can understand english isn't your first language (for me -- it's my third ), but next time, at least show some effort in your trolling.

The article he's referring to with weird ideas about Katyusha-Astana alliance looks just as stupid, though.

Putin? U-huh.

He said during yesterdays stage that the Luxembourg team would not come to fruition and that Andy would go to Astana

Thus in all probability spouting bullshit, he really has lost it. If this came to be, I would truly buy him a drink for being right, but really there is no chance

Career-wise it would be utterly stupid for Andy to move to the team with his main opponent in the Tour, who is probably slightly stronger than him and whom he will therefore probably end up working for.

Oh well, if they were in the same team, and I know it will never happen, but hypothetically speaking it could still be very beneficial for both of them. Like Conti could do the Vuelta/Giro combination for a season while Schleck takes the Tour and vice versa.

Let's face it, those two in the same Grand Tour makes for boring television so far.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

not sure where else to make this statement.
but i have actually really enjoyed the tour. It's no giro, but it has been the best edition in a long time.,

Does it?

Oh, and we've known for a while now that Vacansoleil has set its sights on a GC rider. L'Equipe now knows who it is: Denis Menchov.
