Got du moulinGood question.
With a couple of friends, "to dumoulinate" has even become our common replacement of "to defecate" in everyday use.

I feel like he would have a good laugh at this thread though, seems like a good dude.Poor guy, there are some things in life you can never live down
Unfortunately, the mystic fates have misread your post.What if he won't be unlucky at all? What if, in fact, he has a deal with the devil, who took all the possible misfortune from him and handed it to the other Dutch riders at the start? There have been three cases of Dutch bad luck now, I think that's it. Now watch Tom win his gold.
But it’s the RaboBANK legacy: they have an entire vault full of misfortune!What if he won't be unlucky at all?

His name literally means "Of the (wind)mill."He enjoys far more favourable weather conditions than any other rider, with the wind changing direction to be at his back at every corner; every bit of machinery tuned perfectly, picks the perfect line around every bend and gauges his effort exactly on every incline; his sleep and nutrition work perfectly; he wins by a comfortable margin and is carried off into the sunset on a sedan chair attended by two dozen maidens serving him perfectly chilled champagne, before a snow-white dove descends from the clouds to bring him news that he has won the lottery.
But only after he points out his surname, and declares that he is not Dutch after all.

imagination!

Huge dog or manlet? Which is it?Wakes up, realises he’s fallen out of love with cycling again, doesn’t show up, and has a bit of a dance with a big dog instead...
He could combine the Delgado and Dumoulin for a Stephen Roche.The Pedro Delgado special: he mistakes his start time and shows up late.
Yes, but not in Dutch.His name literally means "Of the (wind)mill."
Uh-oh, unfortunately I read that and my brain went to bloody stool = Moulin Rouge. Sorry!!Got du moulin
How is "Has to take a dump in the middle of the race" not an option?
I still laugh at that moment. At the time I was watching it I didn't know he went for a poop, I just saw him starting to udnress, so to me it looked like he went feral, started taking off his clothes and just started walking back into nature.

The irony of this being that tomorrow, in the shadow of Mt Fuji, Tom is going to get off his bike, go feral, take off his clothes and start walking off into the wilderness, and everyone watching will think “oh, Dumoulin’s off for a potty break again.”I still laugh at that moment.
