The official Great Bauke Mollema thread

[Michielveedeebee]

Interesting - I'm just hearing about this guy - TGBM - I guess he's the one I'll be watching coming in just behind Taylor Phinney. How fun! We'll have some competition!

Taylor Phinney is nothing compared to TGBM. TGBM kicks Taylor's **** in everything!

running gag on the forum, don't know how it exactly started.

I originaly thought that "Bauke" resembled some sort of adjective for "Brute" or "beast" hence the " "Great Bauke" Mollema " = the "great beast" - Bauke Mollema

Bauke is preparing for the Italian fall classics in which it is rumoured he'll brutishly destroy entire fields

By this I assume you mean he'll ride so fast in front that the fields on both sides of the road will catch fire, and the riders behind will only ever see his smoke.

***Apologies to people who live in wildfire areas. No fields were harmed in the making of this post.

Bauke Mollema sounds, even in Dutch, like the name of an anti-hero. Which is part of the joke, for me at least.

Na 11 dagen Salamanca ben ik gisteren weer thuis gekomen in Nederland. After 11 days Salamanca yesterday I came home in the Netherlands. Ik heb ik Spanje elke dag temperaturen van 30-35 graden gehad en dus uitstekend kunnen trainen. Spain I got every day temperatures of 30-35 degrees and consequently a great job training. Van mijn sleutelbeen heb ik vrijwel geen last meer. From my collarbone, I hardly bothered. Dat betekent dat ik zaterdag mijn rentree kan maken in Parijs-Brussel. That means I can make Saturday my comeback in Paris and Brussels. Volgende week zal ik ook nog enkele Belgische en Franse klassiekers rijden, waaronder de GP Wallonie. Next week I will also ride some Belgian and French classics, including the GP Wallonie. Deze wedstrijden dienen voornamelijk als voorbereiding op de Italiaanse klassiekers in oktober. These competitions serve primarily as preparation for the Italian classics in October. Daar wil ik nog één keer vlammen! I want flames again!

Groet, Regards,
Bauke Bauke

Cadel is riding the spring classics also so he should expect to be crushed. The first showdown between the pair will be in Paris Brussles.

But with Magnificent Cadel and Great Bauke at the start, will the rest of the competition even bother to show up? They know they have 0.00 chance!

TGBM has announced he is riding the tour in 2011. He is saying that he is riding in support of Gesink but we all know that Gesink will be no match for TGBM!

Ha, this whole conversation is so funny!

 

[Barrus]

I think it is time to restore this thread in its full and total glory

 

[roundabout]

I hear there's a big party coming up in this thread in 2 weeks.

 

[icefire]

This thread deserves an updated pic

Bask in his glory.

By the by, I am going to follow velocity on the new nickname for Bauke: Balki.

Why can't Bauke Mollema be named "Balki"? The Perfect Strangers jokes would be delightful!

Not to start anything, but when I first read it I thought it was 'Balco.'

I love this guy.

So what actually is the correct pronunciation of his name? And Pim Ligthart while we're at it.

Excellent pronunciation. As for Pim Ligthart, if you take the http://www.fluency.nl/ site and type Pim Ligthart in and have it pronounced by 'Arthur' you get as close as a generated voice will come.
