Sorry guys you wont see much of me in game for a few weeks, I'll be glued to the Telly watching Le Tour de France for most of my free time!
Rudolf - Starts near you, are you getting to see it live? Tell me where and I'll look for you in the crowds!

Hi,

It starts this weekend in the town where I grew up, Utrecht, in the middle of Holland.

Seen some of it on tv, because I was disqualified to enter. Had some Stimobol chewing gum before the urinesample was taken.

If you see the shots from the camera motorcycle, the speed is amazing!
Why on earth the Tour de France starts in Holland is a mystery to me, but it sure is good for the sport.

Just watched the highlights of the first stage, Utrecht looked like a nice town. Impressive cathedral.

Sorry you got disqualified from being a spectator. The drug testing regime its definitely getting tougher!

Unfortunately Le Tour doesn't have age group category jerseys or I'd be up for it.(the grey jersey?)




I hear Zuperman is going to get tougher in DF2 to. Anyone playing at MORAF level will have monthly testing for stimulants.

Watching the start of stage 2 now.
Good aerial shots of Utrecht.

That's not a town, that's a city!

You guys are funny. It's good to have a sense of humor floating around here.
RR...you in particular may have the best personality in the game. Thanks for putting a smile of my face quite often.

I too was considering entering the Tour. They seemed to have enough guys handing out water though. There's always next year. Maybe I'll get some special H2O (movie with Adam Sandler: Waterboy).

That's a perfect caricature of the tour Nebulas, where did it come from?

Big Gunzzz, I think the one thing the Dutch don't need is more water.

Rudolf, Zelande looks nothing like New Zealand! Can't see why they named it so.
That is one beautiful bridge, perfectly proportioned.

A favorite old cartoon.... The triplets of Belleville B)

www.imdb.com/title/tt0286244/

When her grandson is kidnapped during the Tour de France, Madame Souza and her beloved pooch Bruno team up with the Belleville Sisters--an aged song-and-dance team from the days of Fred Astaire--to rescue him.

Forget the moustache! Have you still got the orange hair? Or has it gone grey?

Ouch! :ohmy:


Cracked two vertebra, and still finished the stage! That man is tough!!!!!




I think I prefer Dogfight crashes, they don't hurt as much!




Do we have any players in the game from Belgium?

A tough day for Tony Martin.

Collar bone broken in multiple places, and he still rides the last km to finish the stage.
Now THAT'S Guts!!!
