Cycling on Television (TV)

I say that blondie-coiffeured, tinnie-drinking, goose-stepping, sausage-sucking, kangaroo-wanking Aussie-Kraut was pretty clearly to blame, and is now trying to cover his tracks by whinging in the manner so beloved of the convict-colony dwellers.

mind you, nice to finally see 'Haussler' and 'gash' in the same sentence, where they belong.

As a German-Australian his genetics mean he has the skills needed to both brew excellent beer and then serve it in London pubs.

not to mention the ability to build Utes with breathtaking precision.

Back where you left off then?

haven't missed a step

Normal service has been resumed. Phew.

But we still need more dogsballs. My life goes to shit when I'm not guided by his insight.

Speaking of which... Where's Balki?

He'll be busy, with the ladies.

Cavendish was infront protecting his line. I blame all forigners.

I say sketchy move by Cav, both sketchy in terms of putting the two of them at risk by coming in like that, and sketchy in the sense of it being a bit cheeky of him to cut off his competitor** (this is what cost Cav the green jersey last year).[/**QUOTE]

Not that he needs defending but it wasn't his fault at the TdF last year. Cav kept his line (very straight) it's just that the barriers and road layout were pants and 'forced' Thor into him as it were. The Commisaires (sp?) made a crap decision - partly because they are racist against Manxmen and partly because if Cav had won the Green Jersey he was going to blow the lid off Lance's doping - he'd seen him injecting EPO into his eyeball - yes once again it was Lance Armstrong's fault).

Cav is normally really good at keeping his line and not interfering with other riders. Not sure what he thought he was doing here though (not that I'm blaming him - it just looks like he's cut across a bit)

i only left because you left..

It looked rough as hell, but I'm not sure Cav screwed up. Haussler gave him a nudge, which at that speed, seemed to bring Cavs front wheel underneath Hausslers. He's gonna look like he's had a ruck with a giant cheese grater.

What? Watch it again. 100% Cav's fault.

He looks, then cuts up one rider then crashes straight into Haussler who had his head down.

Fuck that - Cav might not have done the best thing but the massive shoulder barge from Haussler was what took them all down. I put *all *blame on him for that one.

Massive shoulder barge? Are you fools watching the same video?

Cut across a bit? He crossed a number of riders paths and clearly is moving into Haussler's.

And that stuff about EPO in the eyeball, blowing Lance's cover, etc.. wtf? source? That's some pretty sweet conspiracy theory.

I don't really like Cav. And I don't like the way patriotism wins him a bunch of apologists (not saying that's what you're doing, at all). He's not evil, just a bit of a douche. Wiggans though, there's the duder.*

*I don't know either of them, and therefore, I am talking total BS.

Cav's a dodgy cunt in this case and totally failed to hold his line. I hope Haussler and the others he injured recover fine.

You obviously have a very poor quality monitor/eyesight..

the inside of his forearm hooked the lever hood so as he rocked the bike the other way he just pulled their wheels together. don't think you can can blame anyone it's just a racing incident imho.

You can't impede another riders progress in a sprint. To do it and cause a massive pileup as a result.. you can certainly lay blame here.

Haussler who had his head down.

you're saying Haussler wasn't looking where he was going?
that can't be a good idea, can it.

Looks like Haussler got barged to me.

Yeah, even after Cav looked over and decided 'fuck that guy'. I defended him when he pulled that stunt in the Tour but this case is clean cut cuntish.

Cavendish was infront protecting his line. I blame all forigners.

Watch the over-head.. protecting his line my arse.

Exactly. Cav was making a line, not protecting.

'pulled that stunt' ? what, holding his line?
