Why do we hate Danielson?

Is it because Danielson represents what is in all of us, but we don't
act on those attitudes while he does? So he has a blog where he brags
about himself, and is so self-focused that he thinks the dumps he takes
in the morning are works of art. Maybe we all do a little self-admiring
but then we return to reality while Danielson doesn't seem to. So
Danielson tweets about how he's going to kick ass here and there, and
then doesn't get around to it. Doesn't that describe all of us, in fact
the only cyclist that I've ever heard of that actually did what he said
he was going to do was Lance, but he was a freak, no? Racing bikes
brings the turd out of everyone, let's not pretend that is not so. But
Danielson wants to put his turd on a marquee. So when we hate
Danielson, is it him we really hate?

A lllllong time ago in a very little race I was in a break with one
other guy. He asked me how we would play out the finish. I told him I
was going to attack and ride in alone. Which I did.

Ahhh, good times.

That is hilarious. And a safe bet brother. It could only have been
funnier if you said you'd wrap it in a tortilla first.

Dumbass,

The other guy's tricycle broke.

But a win is a win.

Just so long as you don't eat Denilson's shit or you might end up with

I *like* Danielson.

My biggest gripe with him is that he isn't quite as
effective a trolling foil as Zabel. But that's a
pretty high standard, Zabel fans are really easy to
troll.

And riding with two broken ribs. I wonder what that means for the road

nice that he includes an action shot of Mr 60 Percent in his banner.
for the record, i'm down for "DNF with no Americans left in the game
at all in the last 1.5 laps and Zirbel the last one to drop"

I think it changes on every reload.

Zirbel DNS. There was no substitution for Louder, USA will start with 8
riders. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~ewoud/cycling/nationalteams/

that's a very useful site :) in looking at it, it occurs to that we
shouldn't forget about tony martin or cadel evans ...

also, i note that the iranians have qualified a 3-racer team, but
curiously have decided to send no racers whatsoever ...

Iran is in the Asian league, traditionally not a lot of cycling
countries there. Hossein Askari is supposed to be an all right rider,
too bad for him they're not there.

More remarkable: only 1/6 for South Africa!
