... cycling

[Guest guest]

Alan - That was great - Lance strutted his stuff.

The annoying thing is that coverage in the US on

cycling is terrible: 5 minutes commentary and

sensasionalising it, 2 min of the actual race and 5 min

commercials...on and on. Anyway, 2 years in a row for Lance - it

was exhilirating how he climbs those hills! I liked

the chubby german guy that has to lose weight

everytime - it's the bratwurst und kartoffeln..... and the

hops! Someone should give him ashtanga to do when he is

not training. Yeah - you train him Alan. What is

updog in german?

Irony of ironies - Jan Ulrich was on TV a few

days ago advertising cakes! This is actually true.

<br><br>It's generally believed over here that the nemesis of

the man Lance Armstrong describes as "the greatest

talent in cycling" isn't the bratwurst & kartoffeln, but

the kuchen. So this ad is, well, either really

monumentally stupid or the most cutting piece of ironic wit

and self-parody I've ever seen on German TV.

so funnny! Thanx for that titbit. But it fits -

don't you think. And actually in a sweet way - the man

is making more money off of his weak spots. Now

THAT's making one's weaknesses work FOR you. I

understand he is all set on watching his diet all the time

before the next season rolls around. Many athletes

practice and stay in san diego through the off season -

because of the weather and he'll maybe do the same?<br>I

am a self confessed recovering kuchenolic. <br>(Now

i don't crave it anymore - but the ditch is always

near if i want to fall into it.)
