How to tick-off a Milram racer

...apparently...just try to throw water on him while he's racing up a small hill
Dutch rider Niki Terpstra (sp?) was less than pleased in today's stage 13. Funny that the commentators didn't say a word...didn't pause their discussion or anything..
Sorry the picture is wavy...I just snapped it off the television.Last edited by BabyBlueNTulsa; 07-18-2008 at 03:23 PM.

Gotta love the DVR. I wonder if that'll be covered with a fuzzy circle at primetime?

I'm surprised there aren't more shots like that. Will Frischkorn's VeloNews Rider's Diary described a few real doozy idiots along today's course.
Does anyone else yell at the tv for the stupid fans to get out of the way, or am I the only one?"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

That's funny! I can't wait to watch the DVR today and look for it.

Especially the mountain stages, I'm yelling at the TV... those crazy Basques.

I imagine it would take more than a little water to get that kind of response, don't you think? I always imagine some of those screaming fans are screaming bad things about their mothers, too.
The fans scare me to death, too. And the motorcycles. The other day one of them went over a curb while live on-air and it was scary!

Did anyone catch Jens Voigt mugging for the camera during yesterday's stage? It was pretty funny. It was kind of early on in the race and the peloton was really not working that hard. Suddenly Jens realizes the camera is pointed at him (must have been a motorcycle?) and starts pedaling like mad, bouncing up and down, sticking out his tongue as though it was a mad sprint. Then he starts riding normally again, looks over at the camera, and grins. Then starts pedaling madly again.
Such a ham.
I like Jens Voigt.

I saw that. A few in the peleton were in rare form yesterday. I was thinking, ah, the silly things you do when you're out for a casual spin, averaging 24 mph! Originally Posted by liza

It looked like ice to me. Not a good thing to throw. Originally Posted by Tuckervill
