"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - The Official 2009 Tom Danielson Thread

We need to run a poll on what diseases or injuries TD will get this year

We give TD a lot of sh&t here but I want to get paid to rehabilitate 11 months a year. I mean this guy gets to race once then hang out at home and write articles about how he's coming back stronger than ever!

Where's Dubbayoo? He's usually on the TD threads faster than a fly on sh**.
btw - is there an Aussie equivalent of TD?

Where's Dubbayoo?

haha first thing i thought too!

next thought was how long til edr comes to post that he should be a domestic pro instead.

you let me down edr!

well I can't think of an exact injury-prone match but in terms of whinge factor, Mr Evans comes to mind.

wow i cant imagine danielson and evans ever being compared

We can only select one?!

If he gets anything listed Gold Bond can cure it.

no All the above option

Poll of the year.

Spontaneous combustion...





I actually think he might do something this year.

haha first thing i thought too!

Sorry....I'm now downgrading him to local club level. Perhaps a year of catagory racing in Nyack will help him HTFU ;)

I think this is TD's year to prove all the naysayers wrong.

Nah, who am I kidding? To follow EDR's point, TD seems to have the perfect career figured out, making carpal tunnel syndrome the most likely new ailment.

TD acts like a MLB player, they go IR with a hangnail.

Other--raging hemorrhoids.

Scorching case of herpes.

cyclingnews just reported that he is pregnant and on 12 months maternity leave. Guaranteed he will have really bad morning sickness, suffer post-natal depression and have mastitis.

I thought highly of TD's potential...but as each injury plagued year slips by I shake my head in amazement that the guy just cannot stay healthy.:rolleyes:

Scorching case of herpes.

You mean that Tom Danielson slept with Paris Hilton?! :eek:

How do you get injured that frequently in a sport like cycling unless you're crashing your bicycle into walls @ 40 mph?

some interesting stuff on TD in this interview with Vaughters on BKW. Probably just more excuses but I wish him well and hope this new program makes a difference.

TD eats a lot of nuts. lolz

Maybe he needs a pair of big girl panties

Rabies.

Rabies.

We have a winner!!

Danielson: “Foaming at the mouth to race” (http://velonews.com/article/87362/danielson-foaming-at-the-mouth-to-race)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say TD has a great year. Injury free, top 10 in two GC and a stage victory in one .... okay, getting shaky on the stage vic but you get the idea

apparently he's showing up to the Oval ride tomorrow.

I'll report back if I see any frothing of the mouth.

I was thinking prune fingers.

Well apparently nothing at the ToC. Top ten finish not too bad.

and there you go Dubbayoo, Tommy D will not be at the Tour.
Are you happy now?

ooooo


diiiiisssssssssssssssssssss

when i look at who's going, and who's not, i find myself surprised at how deep garmin actually is.

very deep
but still no match for CSC and Columbia and Astana

No, this is a sad day for American cycling and the Bikestrong fight against giardia. I now direct my energies to cheering on Cadel Evans in the 2009 Tour de France...seriously. Dude is riding like a new man.

Well I'm pissed! I was soooo looking forward to 4 weeks of Tommy D bashing...well there will be enough 99'ers out there making excuses for LA not dominating the Tour....nearly the same thing when you think about it.

bummer

extremely talented bunch... but only 5 wins, thats not much better than silence lotto.

If it's not in the 33, was it said?

well I can't think of an exact injury-prone match but in terms of whinge factor, Mr Evans comes to mind.

I'd whine too if my team got rid of Chris Horner as my main man and replaced him with Pop'd da beach, then replace Pop'd da beach with Gilbert.

I mean, I love Gilbert, but he's not exactly going to be shutting down anything going up Ventoux.

Not to mention having to ride Canyons instead of Ridleys.

Of course no one made Cadel re-up with Lotto.

But really, he didn't whine or make up excuses. He's just cursed with a voice that's part Mickey Mouse and part Mr. Hankey

:roflmao:

This time next year Tommy will hope to lead Rock Racing at the Cat's Hill Classic.

Did Mario Aerts make the Silence squad? I didn't look.

Liquigas is very deep also.
Kreuzinger, Nibali, Pelizotti, Benetti, Basso, and Chichi are all top shelf.
