Utmost respect, indeed – however…can we see some results to support the Testteam signing? Perhaps we should compare Teddy King’s 08 season results with Bissel to Correia’s 09 results?

Why link to ‘a’ big guy when you can see the real extreme makeover on http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/31/health/nutrition/31fitness.html
I must say I have the utmost respect for what João has accomplished – there are not that many Portuguese in the pro-peloton and his way of entering the ranks is definitely original – getting the right connections also takes some time and effort…
A João – Boa sorte de um Holandés que mora em Lisboa!

@Joao, not a big deal with the *roar* or the grammatical flubs (I make them all time but have a) fewer people looking b) the ability to fix them before anyone notices.) Just noting how your goofiness deviates from the too-cool stoicism of most pros, and the highly-produced videos from Lance & Co.

@iamtedking: Nice! I expect TwitVid hazing footage before Milan-Sanremo.

Come on Cyclocosm you didn’t think the roring was funny? I need to know these things since I’m working on my next career which I hope to be comedy. As for the grammatical errors. Really sorry about those. English is my second language and my kid (4) corrected me on the three and tree. Apparently to me they are the same. He said “Daddy, tree is a plant, three is a number, get it right”
Keep pedaling.

ps. To the guy I bumped into on the Mt. Bike. How are you? Drop me a line. I still remember that. Thanks for saying hi.

Dear Cyclocosm,

Fear not! You can safely delete that final paragraph. The team didn’t hold us down in said twitter-related meeting. They merely wanted to know what the team should tweet about when @CerveloTestTeam does their own tweets.

Fondly,
