Haussler the German

[ak-zaaf]

LANGUAGE ALERT

I put it in google translate, but that was the worst i've seen so far.

It says the uci isn't going to let haussler ride for Australia because he already did the worlds as a junior for ze Germans.


Too bad for Australia, they're gonna be out of good cyclists in a couple of years ;p

imo anybody who is named Heinrich Haussler should ride for Germany, no matter what the passport says.

/might be a duplicate thread, i didn't check. if so, remove.

... a local Kneipe had become famous for its owner, Heinrich Haussler, a jovial Barmann who served a wonderful Bratwurst and a fine smoked Bockwurst - accompanied with Senf, homemade Sauerkraut and Reibekuchen - entered the ranks of pro cyclists. He admitted that after he took to Hefeweize, he "had witnessed a surprising jump in performance", enough for the Bund to select him for the 2010 Worlds in Australia. Repeating after his pub customers who are already one hundred percent behind him, he said 'Jetzt geht's los!'

JETZT GEHT'S LOS!!!

I could imagine the world championships interfering with his preperations for the oktoberfesten.

Hahah at the name joke

Shouldn't Christian Vandevelde ride for Belgium than? His name can't get any more Flemish.

Or what about or favourite Brazilian: Heiko Großenstieg.

I thought he was basque, and his name there is commonly spelled Txalingui

no, you have to click your tongue to pronounce it the right way.

 

[danyela]

haha, but what is with that? According to CN he's decided he's going to race for Germany again, but hasn't he just spent the last few years NOT racing with them so he can ride for Aus instead?

I'm confused and I think he could be confused too

Just as odd as Mat Gilmore riding for Belgium eh? But seriously there are a few youngsters coming along nicely and will fill the gap left by McEwen, Evans and anyone else approaching their "use by" date.

Hmm

Meyer (or Maier) Meyer and Sulzberger sound suspicously German as well. Does Australia have some sort of a secret 'immigration' act, that favours German cyclists to enjoy the hospitality of Australians? Or is it because the drinking cultures are so similar, that Germans just love to pop by

Ein prosit, ein prosit...

Zum wohl!

 

[elapid]

Goss sounds a little German too!

 

[beroepsrenner]

We've had the Sansonettis, the Giramondos, the Jonkers, the Vogels and the Van Zettens. I guess we're just a mongrel culture just like the Americans

 

[auscyclefan94]

There all still australian and a lot of talent is coming through.

 

[Anonymous]

hausller is about as australian as i am

It must be the drinking culture.

 

[blaxland]

hausller is about as australian as i am

depends on were you are born..me thinks...(Haussler born Inverell Australia)

 

[beroepsrenner]

Based on that logic then Wiggins is Australian

i know, but hes been german all this time though.. i think this country swapping is ridiculous personally..

Haussler has legitimate reasons to be either German or Australian. He wants to represent Australia, was born in Australia, has one Australian parent, and wants to settle back in Australia when he finishes cycling. That is a quite convincing argument for wanting to represent Australia. While there should be some grace period during the transition between representing either country so athletes do not swap from country to country on a whim, I do think Haussler should ride for Australia if he wants to rather than be told by the UCI that he has to ride for Germany because that's the country he represented as a junior.

There may be more to his decision than we are aware of. The German federation may have offered him "incentives" to represent them, something he wouldnt get from Australia. It just seems like a sudden change of heart from what he was saying earlier in the season. This guy is a potential winner of the world championship and it would be just what Germany needs to boost the image of cycling there.

SBS reports that Hausller hasn't say anything about giving up hope of riding for Australia.
