Bauke Mollema has revealed that his girlfriend is expecting their first child in August of this year, but the Rabobank rider is still very much planning to ride in the Tour de France. The 25-year-old Dutchman, famed for his climbing prowess, has stated that the impending arrival will not jeopardise his position at the start line.

????????????????????????

No tour would get in the way of a baby for me !

I'm sure he's not the only pro cyclist who's missed the birth of a child while in the Tour. Breukink himself is another one, for instance.

Hushovd will also ride the TDF, even if his wife will give birth then.

On a side note, what's up with the dutch youngsters (Boom and Mollema) and their production of babies? As an athlete it's quite uncommon to father a child at only 25!

TGBMJR will understand once he/she is old enough!!

The baby isn't due until August, so it really shouldn't be a problem. And cyclists aren't the only fathers in the world who have to miss a birth due to work.

Gesink is another one who recently became a father. Maybe it's to do with the stories about how life as a pro cyclist isn't necessarily good for your fertility, if you know what I mean.

The world champion (i know on this forum that's not quite as being a rabo rider, but still) also has a baby due in July.

I think its April actually, not 100% sure though.

Back to biology class. A baby conceived during the Tour probably won't be born in July

why is this a thread.... IMO there should be a whole sub-forum dedicated to this.

That's going to be one ugly baby.

Yikes, 40 weeks is long enough to carry the kid, don't even want to think about 52 weeks....

Lol my bad i thought he said it was going to be born just before the Olympics but i got mixed up. you are right.

Don't mess with the Dutchies, and above all, don't mess with TGBM

I think in 2010 Maxime Monfort flew with a helicopter back to Belgium on a rest day to see his child being born

And may their first child be a masculine child. (Mr. Brasi from The Godfather)

 

[LaFlorecita]

August is not July.

Wouldnt like to be his wife - just think of the strength in the legs that the offspring of the TGBM will have, and the kick that those little legs will give in the womb.
