The Netherlands - the country that music forgot.
Difficult to argue with that one.
I can only come up with Focus, Golden Earing, 2 Unlimited and Stars on 45.
Not exactly a stellar list. I'm sure some of our more Dutch-centric posters can conjure up a couple more.
There was also however a band called Gruppo Sportivo which is about as close to a cycling related theme as I can muster0 -

The Venga Boys, as well.

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.
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.
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...?
)
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).
I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

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?
I don't think anyone knows Rob - that's the beauty of this year.
I think it suits Bertie, Froome and Nibbles to be pretty defensive though so it will be up to Quintana to light the fireworksWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

usual snark aside - I always think PK looks like a photo of a WW2 RAF bomber pilot...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

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 funny
FF is the canary in the coal mine. He was blocking folk long before it was obvious to the rest of us that DB was the anti-Chris, hell-bent on destroying all sport, everywhere....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0 -

All they need to do is look out for riders "Friends" turning up at there hotels with Spanish meat based products. End of problem.

aye, Dutch force, Leon Bolier, Speedy J, Ferry corsten etc,going back a few but used to get properly messed up and listen to their stuff back in the day. Mr van buuren is a nice guy, and makes loadsacash out of generic trance, but really does know his stuff.0 -

Alberto got a canary earlier this week at his presser. He has a lot of them at home. The people that gave it to him know their cycling history (they were Dutch not English obv)
In case you didn't know, Pinot loves his goats.

It's just a shame that Oleg Tinkov felt the need take it out of the cage and bite its head off.Alberto got a canary earlier this week at his presser. He has a lot of them at home. The people that gave it to him know their cycling history (they were Dutch not English obv)Twitter: @RichN950 -
The canaries (and goldfinches) Contador has at home he breeds personally. Meticulous and humble.Contador is the Greatest0

I'm sure Chris Froome can find a snake to feed it to.According to Tour de Jose though they had to take it back because Bertie did nt want it. Clearly he has no respect for the true fans
