I think he was riding with a German team that came to do the race. They had dark blue and white clothes on. He did not enter and did not have a chip on. He jumped in after about 2 km into the race at the top of the first drag out of town' date=' that's where I saw him the first time standing alone next to the road.

 

 

 

I think he is here to maybe do some nice base training. He said to me he wasn't happy with his position in this year's Tour so he might start his prep a bit earlier for next year smiley1.gif [/quote']

It looked to me like he was riding with the Swift guys....

I thought it was some overseas team that entered. You guys were very lucky to have these 2 great riders in your teams. Here is a picture just after the race of me and Linus. He is already dressed to hit on some wimmen smiley36.gif

Haha, ja we have none of that here, but with traffic and taxi's I can see why no one would want to train here. I'm coming down in January so maybe I'll be lucky enough to spot some of those guys on the road.

 

 

 

Went to the Eindhoven TTT (when the Pro Tour was in its first year and all 20 the teams had to take part in all the events) and managed to sneak into the warm-up area inside a big hangar-like building where all the team buses were parked and all the riders on their rollers. I was still a kid and had only seen these guys on tv before. was one of the coolest days ever for me.Phen2009-11-24 02:38:04
