Save us Cadel Evans, you're our only hope

[Moondance]

Following today's press conference round, Bjarne Riis called a council of DSs. This was from the minutes:

Riis the Evil: Strangers from distant lands, enemies of old. You have been summoned here to answer the threat of Luxembourg, its weird O ever watchful. Cycling-earth stands upon the brink of destruction. None can escape the Brothers. You will unite, or you will fall. Each squad is bound to this fate, this one doom [...] You have only one choice, the Brothers must be destroyed.

Bob the Wealthy: What are we waiting for then? [sends Mark the Whiner to attack the Brothers who is promptly destroyed by Fabian the Neutral]

Riis: The Brothers cannot be destroyed Bob, by any sprinter that we here posses. We must take them deep into the heart of France, and on the slopes of Mount Galibier cast them back into the autobus from whence they came. One of us, though preferably me, must do this.

No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try

Hey... Plagiarism!!

"The Dark Lord Bertie has Nine. But we have One, mightier than they: the White Rider named Cuddles. He has passed through the fire and the abyss, and they shall fear him. We will go where he leads."

Loving the Tolkien quotes... Still reckon Polish is Treebeard the Ent though?

Conversations overheard at the TdF

LOL! big win.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I salute Cobblestones' post as well. May all his bikes be horizontally stiff and vertically compliant.

 

[TourLeTour]

there is a slight resemblance too...

jedi...

could certainly pass as brothers
a twin?

No, I am (he is) your (Cadel's) father!

 

[DrC0721]

Thank you kindly. May Cadel's saddle sores vanish like Leipheimer from the front of a peloton.

You're on fire. I was at work and almost laughed on the phone with a customer at this one.

 

[DrC0721]

They got the power of buttchin. What Cadel looses in aerodynamics is made up with that power.

 

[auscyclefan94]

ACF-syndrome I call it. It's infectious.

Next you'll all be begging me to become apart of the ACF mafia.

All bow down to the master!!!!!

Big ring to rule them all, small ring to climb them,
Big ring to give it all and win the final time trial.

That's a classic ROFL

 

[rata de sentina]

Fracturing his elbow didn't really help either. If you look back at the final TT he couldn't even hold his position properly on the bike, let alone hold himself up to climb out of the saddle on the mountains.

Quite. I agree that as a general rule CE may not be able to match AC and AS in the mountains but only an idiot would consider the 2010 tour when he was injured as evidence for their relative capabilities.

Anyway, everyone knows that Ryo is a closet CE fanboy just trying not to tempt fate by talking up his hero.

 

[Parrulo]

turning to evans with the smiling assassin in the race and looking good shows a big lack of judgement

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

No, I am (he is) your (Cadel's) father!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

i'm with ryo on this one. I don't want cadel to win, screw that.

You and Ryo make a fine pair, your Evans love shines through the thin veneer of hate. We all know that your antipathy towards ACF94 (and who can blame you really) means that you can't bear to be seen to be on the same 'team'.

 

[fujisst]

CE is a most ugly goblin and never would I want him to be champ.
The water throwing incident sealed his fate with me, but alas, how quickly some people forgive and forget his backassward behavior...

 

[Random Direction]

Just wait until he spikes Andy's waterbottles with beer...

 

[Maxiton]

They have some good beers in Australia. That might actually help Andy.

EDIT: BTW, Moose, wonderful post. I'd like to see Cadel win. It would be awesome to watch. Plus, we'd get to see ACF94 have an orgasm in hypertext. I know we can't wait for that. But I'm afraid I have to stick with Contador, for now, anyway, for the top step. And right behind him, in case he fails: Basso.

In a way, I hope I'm wrong and Cadel slays them all. I like being right, and prescient, but I'll forego that pleasure in exchange for seeing a grown man - Evans, namely - weep tears of joy and vindication.

 

[just some guy]

Things are getting a bit out of hand - Ryo might start talking up Cadel soon

I'd rather french kiss evans' dog

i'm with ryo on this one. bits cut

Pucker up boys

Cadel farts in your general direction.

i know where it's from (i love it as a matter of fact). i was just having fun with the uses for Cadel's farts

(you're obviously not a Formula One fan)

 

[Kwibus]

All the anti-Schleck crap on this forum really makes me like the Schleck brothers more and more. I was pretty neutral about them, but there is so much bs about Schleck on this forum that I'm going to cheer for them.

The problem is though that I also like Contador, Evans, Basso and who not? Actually I don't dislike any rider. Well... Leipheimer maybe

p.s. The OP was actually quite funny.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Cadel sence much fear in Ryo.

Ryo Hazuki is looking for sailors and cadel isn't one of them (shenmue joke)

 

[Parrulo]

i would rather see one of the schlecks win then evans . . . .
