Liggettisms TDF 2011

[King Of The Wolds]

there are a number of summits that end and then go up a bit more at a lesser extent before they go down..

LOL. Liggettism, right there.

 

[The Barb]

At today's intermediate sprint:

"Gilbert has gone early and the gap has opened. That's a good move!"

About 20 seconds later after HTC blast past Gilbert.

"I don't know why Gilbert went too early ... he went far too soon" (said in a very condescending tone).

 

[Boeing]

the first stage when Fabian hit the gear and Evans was about to pass he said something like " Cancellara is passing cancellara"

then once he said "it is wet despite the rain"

At the end of the stage today, Phil got a bit excited about the Rainbow jersey, as Thor rose up to celebrate, Phil exclaimed 'Both arms in the world.'

It's a tough job, but he really is a poor commentator and that's a reason why we love him I suppose!

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

"Lourdes is of course the 3rd biggest Mecca for the Catholic Religion"

 

[happychappy]

Speak for yourself, the gibberings of these monkeys disgust me utterly.

Each to their own, I myself watch Eurosport, but on a boring flat day he is a source of some amusement!

 

[The Hitch]

"Lourdes is of course the 3rd biggest Mecca for the Catholic Religion"

Such a quote can only be said by a genius or a total idiot.

 

[this_is_edie]

"Lourdes is of course the 3rd biggest Mecca for the Catholic Religion"

that one is priceless.

 

[sublimit]

"Lourdes is of course the 3rd biggest Mecca for the Catholic Religion"

That is quality. I like the way he says "of course".. Its like he thinks he knows what the hell he's going on about.

It would be funny but for the fact that all the misinformation they spout gets lapped up by new cycling fans and taken for granted as truth

That is true but for anyone who follows the sport can pick it out fairly quickly and just enjoy it.

Paul on vultures during today's random Planet Earth interlude:

"These birds need an inordinate amount of food to sustain them... blah woof... I'm looking for the white Egyptian vulture Phil..."

Phil "Never OUT OF AFRICA have I seen a sight like this. They must have thrown a CARCASS down there to feed them Paul"

Paul: "I'm still looking for the white Egyptian bird Phil" (WTF?! is this private code?)

Phil, laughing nervously "and now back to our own pack of vultures, the peleton!!!!"

Absolute gold.

I'm going to merge this with the Liggettisms thread - however before I do.....


HOW has nobody posted this Tour's all time gem?:

Climbing Luz Ardiden: "Voeckler hasn't put a wheel wrong all day - except for when he crashed of course...."

 

[datalore]

"Actually, he's won five bike races. I pressed the wrong button on my computer."

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I'm sure he said yesterday that there were 22 and a half millimetres to go. Within that 9/10 inch, of course, Hushovd turned a 15 second deficit into a 26 second advantage.

 

[Derrick]

Some great ones today.
1. The sting in the tail comes right at the end.
2. The dropped riders are all behind.
3 Cancellara, with that white cross on his shorts he is the champion of Belgium.

 

[rides like a girl]

not sure this one is funny....it was just odd to me..

Christian VdV that is the face of a winner!

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

Not a comical one today but did anyone else notice the number of times he misscalled Xabier Zandio as Xavier Tondo?

 

[rides like a girl]

Phil--just look at the face.. it is almost as if Andy Schleck is playing with the fish here..he just sits there looks...he zig zags..he is not afraid to stare anyone out but he cannot put in the killer blow either.

,,,and everyone grimaced. Tactless.

good ones!

I can't remember some of his zingers...I think they temporarily fry my brain.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Ok...talking about all the riders on the long descent after Jen's first crash --" it's like watching a western...the riders just going off into the grass and then...TenDam.."
rambling

 

[mewmewmew13]

"Cancellara on his little radio there...he's probably being told about Jens Voigt and his two crashes and to watch out for him."
