At least they get to be doctors these men that are being objectified. What does the woman in the photo you posted do for a living?

Seems rather obvious that she is a model. :P

So... Would a photo of Sagan pinching that podium woman's bum be welcomed to bring it back on topic?

In all seriousness, this lady would be my proposal. Universally well-liked by the people on the ride I did with her. Not a hint of prima donna

Is that a bike rack on the back of a probably $400000 tour motor home? If I had that money, I'd have the bikes inside of a Dodge Sprinter SAG vehicle instead.

Of course you ride your bike outdoors. But once baby's work is over, it gets to come inside to rest. No spending nasty time outside going down the road!

Could be her parents

(Who, if you're not aware, travel with her to every race with a cat, Sjekke, on a lead.)

On phone, I give up. Just Google Sjekkie Vos...

Could be. It has a German plate, though. And they obviously don't carry any chain lube in it because the conversation I had with Ms Vos was lubrication-related

We both needed chain lube after a very wet first half of the ride. The can she is holding in the pic turned out to be degreaser.

Is it? And to think I saw him only a few months ago. (Both of them actually - separately). I bought his Emergency Questions book too - that's something for the long dull flat stages.

...vinden hem zo aardig.
I do like that Swedish expression "Cow's are 'nice''. Usually said with a shrug of the shoulders.

Joe Kontas a fighter, Mac commentary, great stuff.

Brilliant performance, played the pressure points.

For the first time since Virginia Wade lost in the semi finals 39 years ago, Britain has a representative in the last four of the women’s singles at Wimbledon.

How could this thread have not made mention of Bernie Eisel? This is a crime.

Mostly because people decide not to partake in the thread constructively.
Happens on the internet from time to time for reasons I've never really grasped.
Sometimes I find it irritating, but mostly I think it's part of the fun, you start a thread and never know where it might meander.
