I doubt that Le Tour needs an Underwear Nazi, but I could do the drug testing.

Damn you beat me to it !!

I'll be happy to do the domestique thing, plow the road for the boss, and occasionally lead-out. (Okay, just used up all my Tour terminology....)

Plus, I'm one of the JDs on this forum (LegalIce and FOG also come to mind) and the team'll need us when we get sued!

Or you can ride in the Twinstar with me and have access to the REALLY POWERFUL LENS with gyrostabilisation.

Crack'n'fail, you're invited too for the still-work.

I think that guy in Klein's picture passed me on an uphill riding a rusty old three speed with a wire basket.

I want to be the Official Cheesecake Tester. Koffee Brown, I will need one of your homemade cheesecakes per week as a reference standard.

I don't know what KOM is, but I'm under 140. Will that get me free cheesecake too?

Yes, once the cheesecake has passed stringent quality standards. Obviously we cannot have our riders eating anything but the best cheesecake during the TdF.

Oh the pressure to perform!

I will have to make sure my cheesecakes are of only the highest quality. We gotta have our guys eating only the best when they're chasing guys like Lance!

Do we have a preference as to what kind of cheesecake our guys would prefer, Mech? I'll have to leave the gourmet stuff up to you.

Nothing but cheesecake, coffee and beer for our guys for the entire tour!

Now I'm convinced that I should be a part of this. I'm not sure what I can do for the team, but I definitely have to be present for the cheesecake, coffee and beer.

Well, I'm not sure. What substances does the UCI consider to be legal performance enhancers? For example, is it UCI-legal to add cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake...? Maybe there's a threshold amount that's ok, like they have for caffeine.

I don't want them springing a surprise raid on us and disqualifying us for cheesecake-doping. Our sponsors expect us to maintain sterling ethics and avoid scandal (don't they, Joe? ).

I'm about 61kg or so, which I believe translates to around 125lbs. I'll have a crack at the KOM jersey, too. Between us we should just about have it nailed, right?
