I just like all the road furniture in the Eneco Tour what can I say.
As for The Carrots, that would be a shame, I have a soft spot for orange and who else can be relied upon to cause mass carnage in the opening days of a grand tour or to field a team of spindly climbers for the cobbled grudge matches.

Does EBH have a girlfriend?
Would be my bet now it seems Eisel may not be (although Bernie could just be acting out of revenge to Cav for starting a family ). EBH is such a nice boy, it's really just nice isn't it?
I'm going to be really controversial and say Boonen. I know he has a girlfriend but he just, I don't know has a thing...
It will be someone entirely unexpected that isn't in the slightest bit camp or metrosexual or 'gay' or whatever other stereotype you can wrongly ascribe.Correlation is not causation.0 -

No Kids yet though right? hmmmm.....
Bernie or Bertie? If the latter, is Frenchie aware of the rumours?
Seriously for a second though, why the assumption that Eisel is gay? Because he's a bit metrosexual? Ummm cycling is all together high camp people. Shaved legs, Lycra, all the rub downs, room-sharing etc etc.
Cycling camp? There's nothing remotely camp about anyone in that wedding photo, grown men holding parasols is butch and manly.0 -

Well I know someone on this forum who would be getting his hopes up if Boonen was gay! Maybe it's Greipel using your reverse logic or The Badger :shock:0 -

There's more camp there than the inside of a Vango factory.
Doesn't quite work that...
Hmmm than a national VW festival...0 -
On the who’s gay line …
There was an interview with the Schlecks on Dutch TV a couple of years ago, during which the female interviewer (supposedly a Japanese lady) was questioning them in broken English. At one point she requested Andy to stand up and walk around a little, which he did. She watched and then out of the blue said to him “Are you sure that you’re not gay?”, which of course totally perplexed him.
It was actually a ‘candid camera’ interview and the interviewer woman was Dutch but made to look Japanese. Of course at the time the Schlecks didn’t know this and believed it a serious interview.
She also spoke to Frank about him going off the road on a curve in the 2008 Tour of Switzerland. When he said he “flipped over the barrier” she asked him whether he ‘flipped’ because was taking drugs, adding that he should eat rice instead.
Ironically, nine months later, during the 2012 TdF, he was tested positive for taking a diuretic drug. Maybe he should have taken her advice; rice has a diuretic effect.0 -
Oh yes, i remember that interview- hilarious.
Very sad to see The Carrots vanish. I loved watching their heroic efforts on the cobbles. I imagined that they decided who went to Belgium by holding some bizarre traditional Basque drinking competition and the losers were handed a race number.
Never thought about Boonen, to be honest, but I doubt it. An Italian perhaps?0 -

I like the idea of a drinking game to decide the Carrot cobbled classics squad. Hopefully it involved that Basque concoction of coke and red wine.
As for an Italian... Pippo?Correlation is not causation.0 -
Naw- I think he's just an extreme example of a metrosexual.0

I don’t particularly follow Boonen’s personal life, however I noticed 7-8 years ago he had (to my mind) an attractive girlfriend called Lore - short-haired brunette, seemingly strong personality. But he must have separated from her for a while, because celebrity-gossip pages then showed him with a 16-year old blonde girlfriend. But I think he’s now back with Lore.Above The Cows wrote:As for an Italian... Pippo?
To guess an Italian is too simple because many north-Europeans think all Italian men have a gay quality in their manner and dress, although it’s really just the Italian-male way of how to dress/behave – probably more mentally balanced than the more rigid gender distinctions followed in some other lands.
Thus why I’d also rule out ATC’s suggestion of Pippo Pozzato – in fact I’d guess he was probably the total opposite.
If you want to dwell more on this topic, in the past I remember reading on another cycling forum the names Sevilla, Rasmussen, Sinkewitz, Rebellin, and Linus G. as potential gays, and that Riis is ‘bi’.
But I don’t believe any. I think Sevilla, Sinkewitz, and Linus G. were just suggested because they don’t have rugged masculine looks.
To make clear where my leanings lie, if in your research you discover Emma Johannsson or Evelyn Stevens are free for an afternoon ride or an evening date, let me know.0 -

He's done great.
She's not Patricia Gilbert level, though. But again - who is?0 -

Bit surprised about the confusion with regards Bernie's ahem preferences.
The way I heared it, at last years Tour of Britian during SKY's night in the pub thing Bernie pretty much pulled every female in a 3Km radius. The Swannies had to fight them off with $hitty sticks and Eisel had to be forcebly removed before all the country boys kicked off about him chatting up their girlfriends and turning the Deathstar into a modern day Led Zeppelin tour bus with Bernie playing the Robert Plant role
Edited for Photographic evidence
Bernie looking pleased as punch having secured the hottest girl in the Strickland Arms, Cav playing the loyal 'wingman' buy chatting up the pettite (even smaller than him) blonde friend and Brad looking like he has just realised the Hotpot tasted funny and he is about to spend all night on a different kind of throne
Note: the only non-team MALE in the photo is the landlord.
Off Topic - Further evidence that Brad was worried about the Hotpot; everyone else smiling for the camera, Brad suspiciously eyeing up his meal.
NB. There is no evidence to suggest the meal at the Strickland Arms was to blame for Brads subsequent "digestive issues" nor does the above post imply that the food hygiene standards at the aforementioned establishment are anything but exemplary (however there is [cough] evidence [cough] that the meal was prepared by the brunettes boyfriend and placed in error one tablemat down from where it was intetended :shock: )Coach H.

Has anyone seen Mrs Gilbert and Marcel Kittel in the same room? I'm only asking because, well they have remarkably similar hair cuts.
Anyway how is this thread 3 pages long? 3 pages!
Additionally I would like to state for the record before any revelations some 15 years from now, that I am not one of the women in that photo above. I have never heard of or been to the Strickland Arms.ddraver wrote:Nahhh, i stand by my statement (not hitherto expressed here) that there are no hot Belgian girls...
There are a few hot Belgian men, I went out with one once, I like to think he looked a bit like Johnny Depp, the swine left me for some tall Italian, but I digress. Anyway as for Belgians more generally, I will just say 'stone washed denim' and 'brown shoes'. Belgian fashion sense is about as good as Belgian driving.
When is the Eneco Tour going to start? I can't get into the Tour if Polish Dolomites what with all the funny time bonuses and stage times.Correlation is not causation.0 -

Have to break the news to you that Eneco is the other race being used in this bizarre little 'funky-awarding-of-points-to-increase-tv-appeal' (sic) experiment of the UCI's

Excellent tale, Coach. Or should that be Wiggileaks?...a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -
3 pages for this? Ha!
Things must be VERY slow outside of races!
