Who's this homeless guy competing in the time trial

Dan Craven! Totally awesome dude. Who I think does have a home.

A home, livestock/pet, everything.

Orken, with the benefit of full aero kit, manages to beat Dan Craven by ten whole seconds, but is a distant second in awesomeness.

Wow the Austrian commentator is at it again.
He calls EBH "Hagen Boasson", thinks that Hagen is his first name and completely ignores the "Edvald"
He calls Kwiatkowski, Kwatkowski and probably thinks the "i" is there just for fun
He said Thomas has been one of the best TT'ers in the last 5 years.
He said the reason why Geschke and Preidler are good is that they both ride for Giant, which is a team which trains TT'ing more than the other teams.
He said Preilder was only a domestique in the tour (which is right) and he was riding for Tom Dumoulin (which isn't quite as right)

After all these years I have to ask... just what is every cycling organizer's problem with Portuguese names? It's not exactly like we have some weird naming customs. First and last, that simple, don't need to paste the entire name.

That is a fine photo, but I must admit I thought some guy from Camden with a women's studies masters had somehow comendeered a tt bike rather than a Namibian national

Any Portuguese people watching the transmission on RTP1HD? What the f*** is happening? Are they insane?

On the other hand, Örken is a much better rider.

I was about to fall of my chair once, when my commentator said what sounded like Kwiatkowski once, must have been a mistake cause he was back to standar Kwiatowski soon.
