The one and only Álvaro Hodeg thread

[BlueRoads]

I'm a very volatile person. If only I had a photo of Hodeg in a suit, the matter would be settled...
Okay, I'll try to keep the next one... for as long as possible (until I find a great Hodeg foto).
By the way, it doesn't really belong into Alvaro's thread, but trying to find a good photo with van Aert, van der Poel and Alaphilippe in it that fits into this circle, google first adds "girlfriend" to Alaphilippe and van der Poel and "hair" to van Aert.

To stay on topic in this thread before answering on Avy I have decided to always hear in my head this riders name as Hodge!

P.S. this is from when my favorite NHL Hockey player (now) Thomas Hertl. It is a picture of him while he was still in his teens and he got this Picture taken at some store that had Minion mascots to drum up business.

P.S. His famous (limited at the time English skills) quote, during a very early in his career, post game on ice interview that showed his love for the sport.... "Fun Must Always Be."

I think Hodge is the very correct pronounciation.

That's THE ultimate life goal quote

@Sandisfan now I borrowed that quote for my signature

Back on topic: do you think Hodeg is going to any GT as a sprinter?

No. To be honest I don't think so, happy to be proven wrong of course...
I suppose that for Giro and Tour they won't even bring a real sprinter. In fact I can't see UAE bringing a sprinter to the Vuelta either. I don't know, you probably follow UAE more than I do, have they said anything about it?
I can see him going to some of the smaller Belgian classics, with some cobbles as well... And for the other smaller races they don't really have many guys - since they have a good part of the team for the GT GCs I could imagine them sending mainly the sprinters to those races, simply to get some wins under their belt that don't come from Pogacar or Almeida?
Pure speculation on my part.

Just noticed your signature, and... errrh... accidentally skipped a few words when reading:

If you have a photo of Álvaro Hodeg in a suit or Álvaro himself please contact me.

No, I don't have Álvaro hidden away in my basement.

Thank you! Well, at least that's something...
Someone seems to hide him in their basement, though, I haven't seen any good recent photos of him and I have no idea what he's going to do next season.

Maybe he's hiding in his own basement, to - you know - avoid getting kidnapped!

He's been showing Annemiek Van Vleuten around in Colombia these last few days:

He kidnapped her?!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He kidnapped her?!

No, she's just fallen in love with the country. Fortunately her injury didn't keep her from making the trip.
You had the opportunity tog et to ride with her in the coming week, if you had bought a ticket to her "Road to the Coffee Lands" event.

Clicking on the newest comment in this thread and seeing Samu Cuenca’s reply with RHD’s “ He kidnapped her?!” made me think for a second Hodeg turned the tables on BlueRoads.

Can two people mutually kidnap each other?

I think that’s an elopement.

I think that’s an elopement.

That's it, we are off to Gretna Green.
If Annemiek doesn't steel him away with her superior endurance.

Hope there is an happy ending to the trip.

Bring your son to distract her. You guys can do the smash and grab.

Here is some info on the Colombians riding for UAE from Matxin. Does not say much though.

Matxin: “Gaviria debe trabajar para tener la luz de su estrella encendida”

El director del UAE Emirates habló con El Espectador del rendimiento de los ciclistas colombianos ydel dominio que tiene con Tadej Pogacar.

Oh no! He grew a beard!

Et tu, Alvare?

Almeida too. I don't understand why they do this to us

Meanwhile Van Aert even deep in mud keeps his face free of even the slightest hint of facial hair. That's dedication
