Oooh, that's right Eden! I forgot about that!

So, I'm watching, sort of, as I read the forum -- can't really see the TV from this desk, but...
I think the guy who's not Bob, I think he might actually be saying "Leaky Gas" instead of Phil's version!

It's REALLY windy there! I can't imagine riding in that. I've had a fear of riding in the wind ever since I got blowed over trying to out-sprint a storm . Storm won.2008 Trek FX 7.2/Terry Cite X

I can't believe that my first post here is a link to a photo of that Saunier Duval rider caught in a "private moment". But since it seems to be a popular subject, here you go:

I promise my next post will be a little more G-Rated.
Love this forum. I've been lurking for awhile.
By the way - I totally agree about the Euskaltel-Euskadi plumber shorts, the crotch heart distraction, and that Bobke rocks.

How do they do that and continue to pedal without making a mess of things? Originally Posted by McDeb

another thought on the Saunier-Duval shorts
Another thought on those silly yellow shorts: You'd think the guys would want their "Look at my Peepee" arrow pointing UP rather than down, wouldn't you?

<<I remain alone in my utter dislike of bobroll.>>
Zzencentury, you are *not* alone in your dislike of Bob Roll. I can't stand him. I want Phil and Paul announcing, not Bob Roll. Every year I'm tempted to write the channel and ask them to change the coverage . . . but I don't do it.
