Tour

[gerbie]

The Tour de France has started today. It has kept me really busy for the last couple of days and will continue to do so the next few. I'll update soon, as soon as my life is getting back to regular.

Take care dear LJ-friends!

crazy cyclists

The craziest guy ever on the Tour De France was a bloke called Djemoladine Abdoujaparov (i've spelt his name how it sounds LOL), total dangerous guy when it came to the finish line, he'd just be weaving all over the road and if anybody got in his way they were quickly removed.

Some of the roads these guys go down are scary to say the least, hanging over the edge of a cliff in sunny France? No thanks.

Miguel Indurin (spelling) was my favourite cyclist for years.

Abdujaparov was great, it was fun to watch him. Did you see his famous fall on the Champs Elysees? He had to walk cross the line to finish the Tour, otherwise he wouldn't have won the green jersey. Great picture!

He was crazy, made the finish worth watching anyway. I like the tour de france, never seem to pay it too much attention but if its on i'll watch it. Every year that man who dresses up like the devil painted red and running along the circuit!! LOL hes crazy as well.

I never saw the famous fall although i've saw him fall a few times and take plenty people out at the same time.

Lance Armstrong is apparently unstoppable surely he isn't so much a favourite that hes unstoppable?

This German guy dressing up as a devil is purely there for attention, he is really annoying. I saw him in Sydney, when I was there, he was lucky he was on the other side of the road, even not-agressive me was ready to strike him one. He screams like a piglet!

It would be a huge upset should Armstrong lose. About the size of Newcastle winning the premiership next year.

He thinks he is part of the tour de france now though and as for Newcastle winning the premier league LOL. We just lack something, a european type striker someone like Ruud Van Nistelrooy who can and will score all different types of goals.

Our youth teams are the best in the country, some of the kids at 16 are just amazing, its just whether they can make the step up from youth team to reserves to 1st team.

I made a post in the Premiership community about too much exposure of Newcastle 6 out of the first 8 games we are on Sky Tv and we are on 9 times from the start of the season until the new year and thats just league games!! Not including any possible champions league games, erm i;m off on a ramble again so i'll shut up. LOL can't help myself once i get started.

I should have known. How stupid of me to add Newcastle united to a discussion about the Tour de France...
