I doubt ASO care. The Amaury group owns nearly 30% of Bwin's French subsidiary.Potential belter for the rules are rules mob. Stats-legend Cillian Kelly reckons you-know-who's LINKS to a gambling outfit merit immediate license suspension.

Leaving aside any rules issues (that I don't really care about) what's the potential conflict of interest?...a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -

None as far as I can see. This is just another case of 'new media' generating a story through its lack of understanding

Overrated team stand in front of overrated painting.
(That's actually not fair on MTN - who I do like. On the other hand Rembrandt can do one)
I quite like Rembrandt as it goes, but the Nactwacht is overrated, his portraits in the Mauritshuis are incredible and the light in Simeon's Song of Praise is out of this world. The light in that in real life is just amazing it's like the painting it self lit.
Anyway what did I miss with the team presentations? Much more fun to be had enjoying the warm evening and a terrasje (makes a change).Correlation is not causation.0 -
Rembrandt stuff.
Thats true, but the thing that impresses me most in the Rembranthuis was the fake marble painting around the door. I had to touch it to believe it was nt real rock!
(That and the very pretty Meidje with the lovely Brabantse accent doing the paint demonstration)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

FYI, they ve also reassigned all of Armstrong's victories to Carlos Satre - gave him a podium ceremony and everything
They also seem obsesses with showing crashes - in fact they got 2 women pros and 2 wags to watch Wouter Weylandts again which i did nt really understand...
erm...they ve now given Bertie a Canary to look afterWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Even 1999 & 2000? Carlos wasn't even in those races. Maybe they'd like to reassign me Milli Vanilli's Grammys.FYI, they ve also reassigned all of Armstrong's victories to Carlos Satre - gave him a podium ceremony and everythingTwitter: @RichN950 -

I hear Milli Vanilli's Grammys have already been melted down but if its any consolation you can have Kanye's.Correlation is not causation.0 -
I think he's already given them to Beyonce, who he thinks deserves all Grammys.abovethecows wrote:you can have Kanye's.Twitter: @RichN950 -

Atc, Richmond Racer and I will be hitting the streets (i.e. bars) of Utrecht so it may have to be someone else
Not a lot of geology to see in the Netherlands so...
Well there's geology and there's....
Bier!
I will start the prologue stage thread tomorrow (a whole day early), it will be nice procrastination from marking theses.Correlation is not causation.0 -
Got to 1.27 in on this to watch the full presentation if you want:

ps. Contador is at 2.12.
Majka asked if he was going for the polka dot jersey again. No, I am here for Alberto.
Sagan asked if he was going for the green jersey again. No, I am here for Alberto.
It cuts off at BMC though so no Astana.Contador is the Greatest0 -

It goes through Gouda too doesnt it? Ample cheese chat potential there...

Hmm, you mean you are going to start posting Sky love in abundance and attacking me at every opportunity. Maybe you can take your to the twitter profiles of those egotistical, English speaking, nonsense talking non-entities and find solace there.
In any case, the Tour threads are full of Sky tinted, ill-informed posters so I don't intend to interact with them (including you). They have started appearing already. Notable by their absence in the Giro.

If you just view him as some sort of forum comedy character, he's very funny. (I like to read his more bombastic posts in Stewie Griffin's voice)((FF is going to be unbearable for the next 3 weeks isnt he...? )Twitter: @RichN950 -

You reference the English speakers negatively quite often, yet I've seen very few of your posts written in a different language. Or what language you are expecting to read in on an English speaking forum.0 -
Case in point.
I'm teasing, FF - you just seemed incredibly, irrationally touchy there. Not sure why.0 -
I remember FF inventing the Sky Quotient where you saw what proportion of your posts contained the word Sky. He stopped very quickly when it was revealed that his was the highest of everyone - that was pretty funnyWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Assuming the 'big four' all make it through the first week unscathed (unlikely) and without severe time losses reaching the first mountain stage ready for battle. Who do people fancy to come out on top in a mountain showdown over the final two weeks?0

English speaking fans. Not English people. I have strong and informed views on immigration. I am English and have lived her all my life but am half French.

Comedy? To be honest I am not a fan of comedians and rarely watch comedies. Do we assume you are the serious forum member, a stickler for the rules, a memory for the events and statistics and harbour a secret love for Sky (which you normally restrain but which came out very strongly in the Poor Porte episode).Contador is the Greatest0
