How long will the honeymoon last?

Just reading this, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:-

I quite like both these characters, but I'm not sure how well they are going to co-exist.
Bruyneel tried the English lessons bit.
The 3GTs in a season dream? Not sure they have reached an understanding there.
And what about
Although Contador and his inner circle of Spanish domestiques and staff will take some power and influence away from Riis, he is looking forward to the 2011 Tour de France.
I noticed that wasn't in quotation marks, but if it were the case, I can't see it sitting well with Bjarne for too long?

    Yes, I heard that. It prompted me to post. The CN piece mentioned Danish fans specifically. So that AC could replace the Schlecks as the focus of Danish adoration. Is not riding a bike like a demon enough?

    I can't understand a lot of cyclists :oops: But it doesn't stop me admiring them

    Why not insist Alberto learns Danish instead? That has to be easier than a GT Grand Slam.

    Because virtually all Danish people speak English already, and speaking English will make him more accessible to cycling journos and fans worldwide.
