Teams & Riders Jakob Fuglsang discussion thread

[gregrowlerson]

Those columns by Fuglsang are enjoyable to read, although Google Translate does pose some problems. A few days ago I read about Fuglsang's three husbands. I assume that should be teammates.

Yes, I saw this and smiled.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Wonder what word that got translated from.

Also this:



Yeah... "passed away" usually refers to something else.

Well, for many the importance of the Giro is pretty much life and death!

Original Danish:
"Når den slags sker, bliver vi ret sårbare, fordi tre af vores mand er væk med det samme."

Google Translate:
"When that kind of thing happens, we get pretty vulnerable because three of our husbands are gone right away."

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I found that a bit harsh too. Ok, they won't win the Giro this year, but that doesn't mean their lives are suddenly over.

Fuglsang used the singular mand (man/husband), which is quite common phrasing, instead of the plural mænd (men/guys/teammates), and that apparently broke google translate.

So, it's not his husbands in particular; they all share husbands.

Yeah, Kazachstan has an entirely different culture.

Those poor foreigners; they don't know what they were getting themselves into!

When Vino licked his lips and said, "I just love the taste of danish", Jakob assumed he was referring to the pastry.

Actually I think Vlasov was the one who was not okay with polyamorie - so he preferred to leave the race.

Those oh so stern and serious Russians!

Make even Germans appear flamboyant

 

[gregrowlerson]

Actually Fuglsang suspected (as revealed in his beautiful blog) something was up with Vlasov as he didn't reckon he should have pulled out (no sexual innuendo meant there, but if you guys want to run with it....) at all.

That men is an embarasment. I even forgot how much he lasted. If we are at it, MAL as well. These guys don't seem to have the stamina.

 

[RedheadDane]

MAL as well. These guys don't seem to have the stamina.

Well, MAL crashed into a fence, so I think he's excused.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Fuglsang is married to Lulu, so he certainly knows what a boom bang a bang is.


Might be the wrong Lulu though.

Dirty Sanchez?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Dirty Sanchez?

I don't know. But Luis Leon isn't riding this race.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Missed Vlasov today. Fellines bike is at least 5cm too low and it was quite evident that he could not pedal properly without standing in the pedals - also evident by the way he crossed the finish line. In a way, only losing 1.15 is not too bad, considering how much time the bike change itself must have cost.

On to the next one and time to rip up the race now.

 

[Netserk]

Will sulk for the rest of the race, and we'll have to hear for years how he was only a puncture away from winning the Giro no matter how much time he'll lose from here on.

 

[Red Rick]

He seemed to struggle before the flat, which is a bad sign on this stage IMO

I will look forward to more enlightenment from you, Netserk. You always provide us with such quality posts full of nuances

"Fuglsang is like Garage Inc. Lot of noise and disappointment"

His usual bad luck in GTs caught up with him today. He's still in contention, but if he loses more in the ITT it will be a lot to make up. It's a pity that he didn't have any husbands left in that group.

They should be there for him in both sickness and in health. No wonder he wasn't pleased with Vlasov.

I never figured if that Black Album signature, that you are referring to, was meant in a serious manner, considering that both statements has always seemed malplaced and untrue in the first place. I gather that the absurdity of the statements have made the signature reach meme status over the years.
