Paul is dead. RIP

Ich schau mich um und seh nur Ruinen,
vielleicht liegt es daran, da mir irgendetwas fehlt.
Ich warte darauf, da du auf mich zukommst,
vielleicht merk ich dann, da es auch anders geht.

Dann stehst du neben mir und wir flippern zusammen,
Paul ist tot, kein Freispiel drin.
Der Fernseher luft, tot und stumm,
und ich warte auf die Frage, die Frage "Wohin, wohin?"

Was ich haben will, das krieg ich nicht,
und was ich kriegen kann, das gefällt mir nicht.
Was ich haben will, das krieg ich nicht,
und was ich kriegen kann, das gefällt mir nicht.

Ich traue mich nicht laut zu denken,
ich zögere nur und dreh mich schnell um.
Es ist zu spät, das Glas ist leer.
Du gehst mit dem Kellner, und ich weiß genau warum.

Was ich haben will, das krieg ich nicht,
und was ich kriegen kann, das gefällt mir nicht.
Was ich haben will, das krieg ich nicht,
und was ich kriegen kann, das gefällt mir nicht.

Ich will nicht was ich seh,
ich will was ich erträume,
ich bin mir nicht sicher,
ob ich mit dir nicht etwas versäume.

Was ich haben will, das krieg ich nicht,
und was ich kriegen kann, das gefällt mir nicht.
Was ich haben will, das krieg ich nicht,
und was ich kriegen kann, das gefällt mir nicht.

Amets Txurruka has donated his bike and 250 euros to the victims of Typhoon Megi. Euskaltel have since multiplied by 10 Txurruka's donation, bringing it to 2500 euros. What a champ.

TdF 2012 will start in Liege, with a prologue.
1.Liege-Liege
2.Liege-Seraing
3.Visé - Tournai

2004 TdF did also start in Liege...

If it was up to me, the stage would contain a mixture of Fleche Wallonne and L-B-L, with the finish on the Muur de Huy, and the next day they ride over the cobble stones. Should be entertaining enough.

“In cycling, only the Tour de France counts. I would like to bring in a stage win there and ride into the top ten.” - Tony martin

Odd comment...

Then we had Yoann "we're not surprised about Contador" Offredo said last week, or the week before, that the Classics > the Tour de France.

Quinziato told Cyclingnews that, with his arrival and also the signing of Belgian finisseur Greg Van Avermaet from Omega Pharma Lotto, BMC's line-up will be the most formidable in the peloton at next year's cobbled Classics. "If you add us two to Marcus Burghardt, Karsten Kroon, George Hincapie and Alessandro Ballan, I think that, collectively, we're stronger than anyone," he explained.

I think Quinziato is deluded.
A team that did nothing in the cobbles this year + 2 riders whom did nothing is clearly the team to beat.

Perhaps a tiny bit harsh on Burghardt (two consecutive stages of the Tour de Suisse), but everything else he says is just a lot of hot air, isn't it? He himself was almost invisible this year. ;)

I am longing for next season to start as that is when the mighty BMC will start pouring on the wins which they didn't get last year.
