Non TT-results:

2010: 19th Overall Vuelta a Espana
Won Tour de Limousin
Some nice placings Overall in weeklong races, such as Ruta del Sol, Tour de Suisse, Vuelta Communidad Madrid

The only reason Larsson hasn't done any results this year is because he crashed badly in Tour of California, sacrificing himself for Haedo.

Riis has to give danish riders chances they don't really deserve. That is why it's Mørkøv and Vandborg and not Cooke & Larsson. You, as a Dane, should know that. Your name is bloody Sörensen so why am I not surprised that you don't give any critical thought to what Nicki Sorensen is doing in the squad.

Please, think for yourself for a moment.

Oh, how I want to verbally abuse you for your last, braindead and idiotic comment. With fans like that SBS don't need any enemies.

Yea or maybe it's because he fecked Anne Dorte in the a$$

or maybe it's because he cant stay off the booze when in dk, just like any other dirty swede..

Maybe it's because Riis has national bias, a phenomenon completely unknown to people on this forum I know..

Finally half of the population in this country is named Sørensen not Sörensen
here are some free "Ø's" for you.. use em as you please Øøøøøøøhhh

Oh well, no Busche. Not incredibly suprised though.

6 of them were a given, questions were Irizar, Muravyev and Zubeldia. I wonder if McEwen is ****ed.

zubeldia and muravyev were/are never in question with bruyneel

Statistics are like mini-skirts .. they give you good ideas but hide the most important parts...

Judging from last years TDF vandborg seemed a stronger domestique. It's my opinion. you dont have to agree. I can easily live with it.

Yeah, I'd like to have JJ Haedo too but then he should have at least one helper.
I don't think it's necessary to have 8 domestiques fluttering around Contador. He could make do with 5.


And really Morkov has really done nothing significantly better than Cooke and how will Morkov cope with a second GT after the Giro? Goes for a lot of the helpers from the Giro..

So what happened to the "Larsson is cack"-statements.

Yes, my whole point was that the selection was biased because the sponsors and national media want to see "their" riders. Thank you for agreeing with me.

(and yeah, I can live with some of the bias, but not when it's "let's give Contador and his helpers 5 spots and then we will be padding it out with only danish riders and try to justify it as best we can" and when the fans are even more conceited then I get angry and reply)

It's a fact well known to me.

Aww you get angry. I'm so sorry.. maybe you should find another hobby then, dosent seem like it's healthy for you to follow cycling.

Larsson is cack imo. I dont have 3 pages of statistics to prove that statement, it's just my opinion, I might be wrong, since you get so angry. But I wont loose any sleep over it..

Maybe Vandborg is cack too. but at least he's danish cack and not swedish and i would any day rather see a danish rider on a danish team, then a drunk swede.

At least we know where you vote in elections go, no wonder the Muppets have control of your countries politics.

Anyway back to cycling Larsson has been screwed by Riis again - in interviews with the Swedish press he is always saying the tour is/now was on his program.

Larsson will find a new team and get better results next year I hope

More like Larsson screwed Riis who found out about it and returned the favor.

Yeah, no doubt he'll "find" a new team next year.

maybe riis is saving larsson and will give him the role of leader at the vuelta?

i am pretty sure larsson would prefer to test himself at the vuelta then to be a domestique at the tour.

the guy is 30 and has shown little in terms of being a GC man.
I haven't seen enough in his career to justify leadership.

Finally, some Scandinavian warfare to compensate for all the Benelux infighting on this forum.

i thought he was younger tbh. and i am with you on that he hasn't show enough in terms of GC to deserve leadership. i guess i was fooled by the way people were talking about him.

Actually I like sweden a lot. go there at least once a year. I call em dirty swedes, as well as i call norwegians mountain monkeys. it's all friendly banter and in good spirit, and they give back as well as they take.

It's only when they start their holier than thou bull crap, i find it necessary to put em in place.. ;)

@Sørensen: du er lige på grænsen til at trolle.

Det ville være OK med mig, hvis du bare gjorde det anonymt, men nu får du os danskere til at fremstå lidt dumsmarte.

Tja muligvis. som jeg ser det, er det eneste jeg er skyld i en smule national bias ved at mene at Vandborg er bedre end Larsson, jeg indrømmer endda at jeg ikke har andre grunde end national bias, som givet er blevet forstærket af at læse dette forum. Hvis folk begynder at kalde mig Dum, Imbecil etc. og beskylder mig for at at stemme DF. Mener jeg at jeg har alt mulig ret til at forsvare mig og give igen af samme skuffe.

I am also quite surprised by the exclusion of Larsson, but I am not so sure the nationalist bias plays such a big part. After all Riis is constantly criticized for not taking enough danish riders to the Tour and I do not think he suddenly changed opinion to please the press. That the domestiques Vandborg (and Nicki Sørensen) aren't the most exiting riders in pre- og post-stage interviews won't help much.

And I doubt that neither the Ayn Rand-worshippers, Saxo Bank (the company), nor Sungard are focusing on the danish market, but how all those sponsorship deals works are really beyond me.

What the danish press really wants is the return of Michael Rasmussen.
