Yellow Centipede,
Or a New Bike for the Team Time Trial?

Bike or centipede

A tandem rider was stopped by a gendarme. ‘What have I done, officer?’ asks the
rider.
‘Perhaps you didn’t notice sir, but your wife fell off your bike a kilometre
back . . .’

‘Mon Dieu’, said the rider – ‘I thought I’d gone deaf!’

“I’ve really had it with my frog: he’ll chase anyone on a bicycle.”
“So what are you going to do – leave him at the pond?  Give him away?  Sell
him?”
“No, nothing that drastic. I think I’ll just confiscate his bike.”

miles per day.  The problem is now we don’t know where on earth she is!

Who will be ‘Le
Patron’ of the Tour de France in 2009?

Traditionally the Tour de France has a Patron.  A leader who rules the
peloton like a medieval warlord rules his kingdom.  Will and Guy
remember back to the 1960s when Jacques Anquetil was lord of the peloton.
Since then we have seen the role of Patron pass to Eddie Merckx,
Bernard Hinault, Greg Lemond, and Miguel Induráin.  What’s intriguing about the 2008 race is there is no
natural Patron.

So what are the characteristics of a Patron?  Firstly he has to be
fierce rider; relentless at time trials, capable of sprouting wings on
mountain stages.  More than pure cycling ability, Le Patron has a
dominant Alpha male personality.  The final characteristics for
dominating the peloton are the cunning of a fox, and the strategic planning
of chess grandmaster.

What’s intriguing about the 2009 Tour de France is that Lance Armstrong was
a former undisputed Patron, yet this year the number one rider of his Astana
team is the 10-year younger, and more recent winner, Alberto Contador.
Will Armstrong use his Patron powers to guide Contador to victory?
Alternatively, will he use his wily skills to mastermind his own victory?

An Irish Perspective on the Tour de France

Two Irishmen were sitting in a pub when the Tour de France came on the
main TV channel RTé. Mick and Seamus watched the cyclists for a while then
Seamus asked, “Why do they do that?”

“Do what?” said Mick

“Go on them bikes for miles and miles, up and down the hills, round the
bends.  Day after day, week after week.  No matter if it’s icy,
raining, snowing, hailing . . . why would they torture themselves like
that?”

“It’s all for the money,” says the Mick. “The winner gets half a million
Euros (Dollars).”

“I see.” says the Seamus, “But why do the others do it?”
