Team pre season camp thread.

[Cimber]

He looks like have no collarbones

Which would be a good thing as a pro rider. No collarbones to break then

Ye he got an swful "style" but tbh I do like that u can read the pain on his face. Gives u an idea just how tough pro riding is.

And Armstrong never walked the moon. Man, I do love CN forum and the conspiracy theories The "source" article is nothing but a conspiracy theory presented on blog. Only mind spin. Had they gone to Schwitzerland that dude would have argued how Riis and Bertie were trying to influence Ulrich Haas.

Personally I think Riis was aiming to attract wealthy Israeli sponsors (explaining the signing of Magliot too) just as Riis admitted that signing the Japanese rider was partly due to Japan being an interesting sponsor market.

Okay, so I was wrong.

Why are you posting that? It says absoluty nothing but one man's thoughts which - if he had watched the media following them at the camp, especially the danish - are quite wrong in every way.

I refer you to post #77 in this thread. Cimber's explanation (trying to attract a sponsor) makes way more sense than yours ("helping kids and stuff"), though, not having seen the media coverage.

Here some more pictures of the crit in Jerusalem.

 

[masking_agent]

anyone know what that yellow eyewear Contador is wearing ? I like them ? It resembles my old Oakley Factory Pilots back in the day of which Oakley said they were going to re-issue, but never did. I'd like to purchase those yellow bad boys.

 

[Michele]

He's sponsored by Giro as eyewear, usually wearing Havik.

 

[masking_agent]

yes, but those are not Haviks

 

[trevim]

Contador at "Tour of Jerusalem"

I'm glad to see Contador in on track for Roubaix. Go on my son

 

[trevim]

I'd prefer CA Sorensen not to start in any race next year. Sorry, but his style is just uncanny, it makes my physically ill.

And the timing of his attacks always seem to be really bad

 

[Thomsena]

He does have a ridiculous style and wierd timing when attacking. But he is totally dedicated to his team and his leader. Though his attacks rarely do any harm I find it hard not to admire a rider who often attacks - whether it's reasonable or stupid. And his is hillarious as well but you might want to be danish to agree on that.

In training camp news, someone called the cops because Brent Bookwalter was peeing on a tree.

lol!

Sky asking on FB their fans what would they like to see from their traning camp in Mallorca next week. Nice initiative

Saxo going to Israel (warm and dry), Rabo going to Fueraventura, and what is Quickstep doing? Survival when it's close to 0 degrees C. I would hate to be employed by them at that point. Cycling is hard enough by itself

Some years back Saxo (or CSC as they were still called back then) was on a cross-country skiiing survival trip in Norway.
Guess who actually quite enjoyed it!

Matt Brammeier's tweets from the camp were pretty amusing. He seemed to be enjoying the whole slightly crazed carrying logs around a Belgian forest in December vibe. Then he ran face first into a tree while blindfolded.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

5 teams in Calpe at the moment. should be given a race name!

 

[El Pistolero]

It's actually not cold at all in Belgium right now

If I didn't even know better I would say winter still needs to begin here lol. I can still walk around without a jacket here.

Well then the OPQS boys are unusually soft, because in their camp video they are all wrapped up like the Michelin Man!

They're pussies all-right! Maybe it depends on where in Belgium they are.

But seriously, it's a real soft winter here. I think I've only seen 3 rainy days this whole winter(it's currently raining as a matter of fact).
