Bianchisti Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Loved the open air festival concept. The Dutch needed to be a little bit more "ge-olie" with Amstels though. Lucky they had a Dutchmen presenter for the Afrikaans names. Did himself proud even with the Eritrean ones. Good man.

Paulst12 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I'm curious how MTN is the first African team in the Tour... what was Barloworld classified as?
Gen Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I'm curious how MTN is the first African team in the Tour... what was Barloworld classified as?Don't think Barloworld was SA registered. Aaah Google says it was a UK registered team.
Long Wheel Base Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Don't think Barloworld was SA registered. Aaah Google says it was a UK registered team.Correct. In fact they weren't even based here. Just had the title sponsor. If i'm not mistaken they where based in Italy?

Long Wheel Base Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Was it just me or when the the presenter asked the one dude(cant remember who) about a crash he had this week and the guys response was "its always $#!t when you crash but i'm OK". I think it was one of the dutch riders.

hboli4 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Wasn't it Kelderman.. jissie I had a good giggle ha ha Yip it was Wilco, also did a doubletake to make sure I heard correctly.
nickc Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Correct. In fact they weren't even based here. Just had the title sponsor. If i'm not mistaken they where based in Italy?Yip - talk about an international team, South African Sponsor, Registered in Britain and Based in Italy with Italian Management and at one stage partly owned by a US company i.e. Cannondale.
Gen Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Now why did Paolini shave his beard? Not like I am a beard fan I just hate it when they change kit and appearances, cause it takes me a while to be able to spot them in the bunch again.
