How many anglophones packed?
How many anglophones started?
How many whatever-o-phones packed?
How many whatever-o-phones started?

If it would make it easier, in the absence of other compelling
evidence, a rider could be presumed to speak the language of the
country whose licence he holds

This could be a bit tricky for Swiss, Belgian and Canadian riders, but
the rider's name should be a reasonable indication of what he
pollyvooz in most instances

Like the Russkie said of the two leading Soviet Papers:
"There ain't no pravada in Izvestia
and there ain't no isvestia in Pravda"
Pravda = Truth
Izvestia = News

Changes in stage 9 compared to stage 8

Thanks for posting the good info, Bob.

S.

I'm unclear how you gather these data, Bob, but I greatly appreciate you
doing so and then publishing.

The language their legs talk is all that matters !

All done by comparing the latest GC with that of the previous stage.

HAS VINO BEEN TESTED?
GOD I HOPE SO. We don't want those commie wierdos getting away with
anything like traveling to Mexico.
I reside in sunny Florida where there's a huge gaffer community
serviced by last chance bar girls and exotic and not so exotic dancers
so the drug ads we see here, approved by Al Trautig? Or his employer
are maybe local.

But locally we see:
ENZYTE.COM ENZYTE.COM ENZYTE.COM ENZYTE.COM ENZYTE.COM ENZYTE.COM
Got that? ENZYTE.COM
What is this ENZYTE.COM???
A MALE WHORE MOAN
A beta male looking like Tabitha or was that Sabbatha's huzzzzband
passes thru the ad in various guises-race car driver, iron worker,
astronaut ( no diaper ), gigolo,
STONED OUT OF HIS MIND ON !
MALE WHORE MOAN
SO STONED ON THE DRUG THAT IN ONE SCENE HE'S SUCKING DICKS AT THE
BARBERSHOP.
Incroyable!
The ad in true dope pusher fashion offers the viewer a FREE SAMPLE!
THIS IS WORTH REPEATING, RIGHT?
The ad in true dope pusher fashion offers the viewer a FREE SAMPLE!
And promises explicitly
A RUSH A RUSH A RUSH A RUSH.
WOW! Al? what would happen to Rasmussen if he said, "I go to Mexico to
get a rush."?
Golly! Does the UCI, Al Trautig and Prudehomme find this drug
advertizing offensive or can they blame it on Howlin Wolf and ride
home in the Merc with a suitcase filled with Euro?
WE WANT TO KNOW IF AL TRAUTWIG SUPPORTS DRUG ADVERTSING BY NON DRUG
CULTURE TOUR DE FRANCE VERSUS DRUG SPONSORS.
THEN tell us why we can't see the twisty down hills?
No helicopter? No imagination. Too dangerous. Too tight.
No tighter than the first two twisty bits
Ask Russell for 2 F3's with cameras and camera man. Wow there's a
great job. Wheeee! Let Russell advertize and plug.
Not getting the downhills is very disappointing but I figure there's a
good reason for it you all being professionals
Like your too lazy and you figure we swallowed the but so far so why
make the effort.
By the way-I picked Soler-and you know why!
Gert Frobe said so.
In the sixties, finding a GP report in the NYT was 1 in 10. Now, NYT
prints reports on Junior's belly button lint. Look! Here's the tour
live and really weird it's next to useless cause Bob Roll only comes
on at night.
