Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Has cycling really changed? The flamboyant sprinter is nearly as old as the sport itself.

    I just never had Cavendish down as a Cipollini type!

    I've just read this on his Twitter now; thought I'd pop on here to post but see that Iain the Early Bird caught the worm before me ;)

    I'm pleased for them both :)

    Congratulations to them both, fantastic news.

    If his sperm move as fast as he does then it's a wonder it's taken him this long to get her up the duff!

    He's not the only one! Ours was conceived during the Tour as well (went to watch the first 2 weeks) - due end of March/start of April. Quick! To Twitter! :)

    P.S. As much as I love Cav, rest assured the baby won't be called Mark if a boy - I'm not that much of a saddo ;)

    Ah poor Tusher's gonna be crushed!

    Congrats to the both of them!

    (Mark and Peta that is, not Tusher, though I'm sure she has done something that warrants congrats too...)

    Crushed.

    But delighted for both of them.
    From their tweets, he appears to have relished being a step-dad to her little boy, and this must be the icing on the cake of his best year.

    I once saw a thread on another forum where a skimpily clad and extremely attractive young woman posed with her top of the range TT bike. The rest of the thread dealt with the aesthetic sensibilities of not having the chain on the big ring for the photo :lol:

    I'm just helping my dad do his Sunday Express crossword and the 1st clue is:
    Manx cyclist who won the 2011 UCI Road World Championships (4,9)
    Wonder who that can be?????????

    Express, eh? In that case, the correct answer is "Road TaxDodger"

    Wonder what names Cav and M. Cav have got lined up?

    So the stages he didn't win were because the night before ....................... or he was saving himself for the final sprint :lol:

    I was wondering........
    Tony Martin buys her (Peta) a couple of drinks, hands her off to Bernie Eisel who takes her to dinner, then Renshaw takes her to the bedroom, where Cav appears, and...........
  • inkyfingersinkyfingers Posts: 4,397
    Don't forget that Erik Zabel will have already have tested her out so that he can give Mark some tips, plus he'd have Rolf Aldag and Brian Holm shouting encouragement into his earpiece the whole time.

    That would be funny, if it wasn't for the fact that your references are somewhat degrading to someone who has no place to be mentioned in a cycling forum ...

    If you wanna make those kind of jokes down the pub with your buddies, then fine, but have a wee bit of sense and don't type it out for the world to read in a cycling forum ... You just end up looking like a moron ...

    Am I missing something here, or are you actually serious?

    Can't be serious can he???

    I hope not, for his own sake.

    I would have let this go, but then someone said it was the funniest thing they'd read on this forum. And I'm not having that. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.... :lol:

    No no no, completely different. About as alike as a Galaxy II and an iPhone 4 :)

    To be honest I don't remember your post, but its a pretty obvious idea. I was prompted by the memory of an American TV advert for something or other, with Tom Brady being 'protected' by his offensive line. So you'd have Brady in a sharp suit going to dinner with some hottie, and the offensive line would be there in their pads and uniforms. I think there were some others on the same theme.

    Edit: I think this is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a209lYNetOc

    No problem Dougzz.

    I think my own joke was probably based on a Jon Stewart Daily Show sketch about what Armstrong's team would do when he retired.

    I was quite proud of the Greipel punchline though.
