It's a sad day for the forum. I think we're down to 4 authentic Irish forum members and a couple of wannabe Irish. We were going to adopt Netserk, but I guess that's off now.

So, first you try to steal a Danish rider; Juul-Jensen.
And then you try to steal a Danish forum-member!

No. Not allowed.
Well, maybe if I ever have to take Netserk's citizenship, he'd like to have a backup plan...

Just think how scary @Krzysztof_O will be when he goes for a gif as well!

I am feeling good but one has to be careful and look for unorthodox doping methods. BB? You would get busted instantly, they have changed tests. I dont know what @CyclistAbi takes but its efficient and undetectable. Everyone and their grandma knows he crashes a lot so one can always hope...

Along with who you've mentioned @Carrick-On-Seine is I'm assuming from the name and I recall laughing at him for having to deal with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations as an Irish living in England (or maybe it was the funeral?), though it might've been someone else. I also think Breezy1985 it was as well with the Sam Bennett avatar a while back?

I think it also was my admiration for Vino smashing the Team GB dream at the London Olympics

CyclistAbi is peaking to soon, he will not sustain this shape until the last week, even with this new things Abi has been taking.

You have the Giro in your legs and besides that, i have surprises for all of you in the third week, so you better get ready for what's coming. I wasn't in Mallorca and one month in Tignes for nothing!

Nah, now guys peak for the whole season. If @CyclistAbi stays on his bike he wins. I don't think he will though (let's just say that I have very loyal domestiques who know how to fight hard for positions in the peleton!).

Let's be honest, you have your issues. The steeper progression the more dramatic collapse. One day you'll be fighting for the victory and the next day you'll be trying to survive in grupetto.

Let's face it, CyclistAbi scared me as s*** with the "Grandma conversation", that was sadistic, but i know he will not stay in the bike until the finish of the Tour and he can't sustain this shape in the mountain stages of the last week. The mountain train will not work.

A lot of my family are Irish so my dad supports them and obviously bangs on constantly, growing up I ended up watching Celtic a lot with them so still go on games occasionally, but as a testament to the confused history of these islands I was born and grew up in Lancashire.

Not always been the biggest England football fan but I like Gareth as a person so I'm supporting them this time, domestically speaking he seems to be annoying the right kind of people.

I agree. Gareth seems like a good bloke. I like Foden and Kane, Trent…but it’s mostly due to the English media and fans (and some former players) that I get rubbed the wrong way and simply won’t support them.

How is the forum holding up? People are accepting Vingo's miracle readily. Lance is gobsmacked by it. Rog is out which is a shame for the podium battle, bad for Rog and his fans. Remco is holding up well, so far. Pog seems to be in a spot of bother, but I think he'll have a good performance this weekend before he blows up in one of the last stages. The discussion gets unsavoury at times but the forum hasn't come close to blowing up yet. So far, it has been a very entertaining tour and there are more shocks in store. Let's hope all remaining forumites can complete the tour.

They don't stand for anything, I typed them to make a light-hearted joke (seems well-received by Tim). I do not actually think it's an insult to be thought of as Irish.

It's in the same vein as if someone mistook a Dane here for a Swede.
Click to expand...
Being mistaken for a Swede in the male peleton though would mean you're a horribly bad cyclist as there's literally no Swedes in the male world tour whatsoever 🤣

I've been standing with my head inside my oven for hours, but I'm too much of a chicken to turn it on.

Its the same as always.
Some people use logic and showcase data on why everybody is doped.. others defend until the last drop.

I remember the Armstrong era, where people here defended him to the very last.
