Dammit. Here I am now with 160km to go

...me too

 

[wansteadimp]

Without all these sprinters it’s gonna be today Philipsen will be beaten. Who’s still here? Groenewegen and some other leadouts?

Welsford, Kristoff - if fatigue plays a part Pederson and Girmay?

Meanwhile as nothing is going on, I still watch the stage a bit because there is a lioness on the run.

Not surprising Asgreen chooses a breakaway. Mørkøv didn't sound particularly convinced that Asgreen would help him in leadouts.

Bob Roll on Peacock/NBC said Wout should have stayed on the Tour.

Roll is still the caveman.

Today would have been the perfect day to discuss the different characteristics of Burg vs Schloss and the etymology of Danish surnames.

I posted about that subject in the "Coffee and Small Danish" thread.

Haha I cycled through that area this morning because of a doctor appointment. Only heard of the search afterwards, not that it would've bothered me anyway. As an avid cycling fan, after this season I've got plenty of expertise how to deal with nasty cats!

Vingegaard is a toponym, a Danish manor house.

Vingegaard

Vingegaard Vingegaard blev brændt ned under Grevens Fejde (1534-1536). Vingegaard hørte 1656-1964 under herregården Tjele. Vingegaard tilhørte den tidligere danske politiker og finansminister, Christian Ditlev Lüttichau. Den nuværende hovedbygning blev opført i 1830.

Ejerhistorie

Vingegaards først kendte ejer var Ove Tagesen Reventlow, som ejede gården i midten af 1400-tallet. Hans barnebarn, Christoffer Kruse, fik Vingegaard i 1530 blot få år før den store borgerkrig, Grevens Fejde (1534-1536), brød ud. Uroen skyldtes rigsrådets uenighed med hensyn til valget af en ny konge. Den voksende uro blandt folket sprang ud i et åbent oprør mod adelen. I spidsen for det nordjyske bondeoprør stod Skipper Clement, der støttede Christian II's (1481-1559) genindsættelse som konge. Oprøret blev dog slået ned, og rigsrådet måtte nødtvunget indsætte den reformerte Christian III (1503-1559). I 1536 var borgerkrigen slut, og Danmark tilhørte ikke længere den katolske kirke.

Borgerkrigen fik stor betydning for Vingegaard, der blev brændt ned af oprørske bønder. Hvilken stilling Christoffer Kruse havde under oprøret er uvis, men han har sandsynligvis været på rigsrådets side og bekæmpet bondeoprøret. Frem til 1620'erne var Vingegaard ejet af slægten Kruse, men i 1625 blev den solgt. Ejerforholdene på denne tid er, som for mange andre herregårde, indviklede, idet gården deltes blandt flere arvinger. Disse arveandele kunne derefter nedarves, handles eller byttes, hvorfor gårdene i lange perioder kunne have mange og skiftende ejere.

With the Hollywood strikes going on, maybe now is the time for my idea for a tv series: 'Jonas House, MD.' Its about a doctor who gets carried by grumpy teammates for the whole show upto the final act where he disappears into the distance to beat his enemies to death... side plots include diagnosing his fellow doctors with illnesses and mocking his friend Dr Pogacar for being slow.

 

[HelloDolly]

Girmay for today ?

Side plot also includes the most gifted doctor anyone has ever seen who constantly goes off on his own but comes back just in time to help Jonas House with a complex surgery and to eat pancakes in the hospital cafeteria.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Girmay for today ?

Bini needs to throw some elbows.

All great stories include a crushing setback for the hero. It makes the ultimate victory even more heroic. He'll be back.

 

[saunaking]

Does he still begin his shows by cackling like a two-year-old about French pronunciations?

No, first there is like 8 minutes of selling ***. mostly dubious health products
I stopped listening, the other show with Johan is way better and less ads

 

[saunaking]

He should get out of his Chesterfield and play golf himself.
Myself I'm going for that activity in a few moments

Lance is a sofa guy. You are thinking of Horner

I will check it out. Thanks.

Lance used to have some guy pronounce the names of towns and then cackle like it was the most ridiculous thing he ever heard.

 

[Samamba]

Good to know that Philipsen is also a diickhead

 

[DNP-Old]

I would have kicked Philipsen's teeth out in that situation. What a damn clown.

WRONG

 

[RedheadDane]

GO FRED!

 

[Faserr]

Relegate him. I hate blocking.

What are you referring to?
