As I understand it the Tour is The Place to negotiate new contracts...
So.. Have just seen this...
Don't know what Rigoberto is going to make of that.
what do we think?
Good or bad?
that is all

Date: 2013-07-05 07:58 pm (UTC)It's an odd thought of Chris Horner being the sober and sensible one ;P
Yeah, I don't want to think about either, but if it happens, I can just imagine Cap bringing him comic books to the hospital to read while he's got some time
Dan Martin doesn't seem like an overall contender though. I feel kind of sorry for Hejesdal this year, you know. Yeah- too many people have crashed and I don't like it :(
no subject
Date: 2013-07-05 09:13 pm (UTC)I'm sure he'll just distract Andy in the usual way
SWEEET, and then he'd probably have to read them too him because he wouldn't be able to hold them with a sore shoulder bone. Bet he would do all the voices as well. Britain would just look aghast but only for a second, then he'd smile and settle down to listen :)
Yep, Hesjedal has a horrid year with I,Knesset and crashes and injury everywhere he goes.
It feels like more than usual, but it probably isn't
no subject
Date: 2013-07-05 09:17 pm (UTC)But what about everyone else? Could he really let Andy's house get all destroyed by drunk people?
He's probably used to Cap reading comic books to him by now, though, and it sends him right to sleep
Hopefully he'll have a better end to the year
I think we say that every year
Did you ever find out what happened to Jakob, btw?
no subject
Date: 2013-07-06 03:17 am (UTC)It's a party, Chris will expect it. He's only going to worry about making sure Andy is safe and having a good time. Other than making sure no one has access to guns, the others get to party. BUT they will help with cleaning up in the morning.
Oh bless Cap and VDV
Another nor for Vielta and Worlds? I miss Matti sighs
Saw a graph which showed the no of abandons at stage 6 per year. This year is about average, but what the hell went on in 1996? there were about 32 out already.
He was there hiding with the others, came in 46th in same time as everyone else. Worryingly only one Astana rider was with him, the other 3 were 14 mins back. :(
no subject
Date: 2013-07-06 06:39 pm (UTC)Chris will be too busy dealing with hungover Andy to help clean up too ;)
They are totally amazing together
I bet you don't miss Matti as much as Jakob does :P
It's not like the end result of 1996 was anything to cheer about either
I also saw that he did pretty decently today. I am talking about happy things about the stage like that. I am not talking about anything to do with anyone who won. Ever
no subject
Date: 2013-07-06 11:29 pm (UTC)That is all part of his plan too. No one ever likes to clear up after the party. Besides which I imagine Andy will take a lot of long after, he just doesn't't know when to stop.
All of the long suffering love we like to imagine. This fascination is down to you ... I mean that in a very nice, complimentary, hugs you, sort of way. Of course they do give you gold to work with.
For such a nice comment, and for not mentioning Frank and Jakob... I have used my special new George icon just for you... Yes he does miss Matti, but they have rest day soon, after the coach transfer from hell. Maybe astana will fly them... There are only six left after all.
Hahahaha Riis, Ullrich and Virenque ... What a podium..
No, we shall not mention ... That.. Ever again. Though I will say that I take my words back about little Pete K...what a ride. And yes Jakob, was there until the very end, and then exploded as Danish Newspapers say. Still the Astana post sounded pleased with him, he can still do it. Othervhappynthings from the stage are Quintana and Andy being good up hills and down too.

Date: 2013-07-07 09:34 am (UTC)In my head, Jan was totally being sexed up by Andy because Andy is way too excited by the yellow jersey ;)
I'm sure Andy will be very grateful to Chris for everything afterwards though
I do like the ones that give me good stuff to work with the most. I mean, if it wasn't for sweaty Cav/George hugs in 2009, I wouldn't be writing this stuff now. Probably
Even if they do have to drive, I'm sure Matti can keep Jakob entertained over the phone for that long
I saw the new icon- I like it. So does this Cav in my icon
I know. That's like the ultimate of bad
Yeah, Pete was amazing from what I heard, but I would still have picked Bernie over him ;) I'm glad Jakob is doing well and that Andy wasn't massively down either. I still prefer to live in my headcanon world where Brad is just owning everyone ;)
no subject
Date: 2013-07-07 04:59 pm (UTC)Chris is wonderful like that, and I'm sure Andy realises it and is very very happy that he has him.
Yes the sweaty hug ones are very enduring. it's funny how you can see a picture and perhaps it something about their expression or the way they are stood that sparks the imagination. I'm glad you like the icon, I though he looked rather fab in it.
Well Matti does have a lot of arrows in his quiver...I'm sure he'll think of something.
Pete was special... And interviewed well..
Nothing wrong with head canon, it's perfectly fine. Brad will always be awesome
no subject
Date: 2013-07-07 05:16 pm (UTC)I don't think Jan will mind too much if he's getting some nice sex out of it
Andy is very lucky indeed
2009 was an epic year for sweaty hug pictures. It was also when Brad and Dave were riding together, which helped a lot with shipping them
I wonder how many of his plans involve engaging Jakob in phone sex
Bless him.
Fun fact, in my headcanon, Andy wins this year's Vuelta ;)
no subject
Date: 2013-07-07 10:27 pm (UTC)Andy should remember how lucky he is
Some of my fav pics came from that year, the cafe stop ones where they are just gazing at each other and laughing.
Umm, well it is Matti, and you know Jakob would be disappointed if sex didn't arrive at some point. But he will also just totally hold him and soothe all his anxieties away. Jakob is new at this GC game, and he worries still.
:)
I like your head canon... Give it free rein
no subject
Date: 2013-07-07 10:40 pm (UTC)I'm sure he does
Oh, that's one of my favourites too
Jakob is totally lucky to have Matti and I hope he reminds Matti of this when they get to see each other again
I have such a nice plan for them. They win all the races, have a bunch of awesome sex and basically take over the world together. I just love them how they are in my head right now. I wish I had time to write it all down, but I've got so many other things to finish first
no subject
Date: 2013-07-07 11:07 pm (UTC)They really are made for each other, Chris and Andy sitting in a tree K I S S I N G
:D the way they are just gazing at each other and enjoying each others company (read falling in love), the other team members might just as well not exist.
Matti doesn't need reminding, he knows... All those special little moments they share, when words aren't needed at all. They are telepathic like that and so adorable.
You should write notes and keep them, or just go with the happy place and write it now.
no subject
Date: 2013-07-07 11:21 pm (UTC)I massively hope they get to race together again (soon)
I think it started a long time before that between them, but I bet the whole love and actual relationship parts weren't happening until they were on the same team
I'm sure Matti likes being reminded occasionally though
Oh, I already have some notes, just so I could keep things straight. I mean, I could write this, but then what would happen to that poor hooker fic?
no subject
Date: 2013-07-07 11:52 pm (UTC)Will they fit one in between the tour and Vuelta? Eneco maybe? If not then a training camp surely
Would make more sense that way, or at least they spent more time together so it gave them time to make sense of the feelings. Wish they were still on the same team...
He does, but Jakob has funny ways of showing him. matti loves them all though...
Now that was a very understand comment, because you know full well how I feel about that hooker fic :)))
As long as you have notes all will be well
no subject
Date: 2013-07-08 09:49 am (UTC)Plus, sexing each other up was way easier when they got to room together at races ;)
That's just what makes Jakob so special and part of why Matti loves him in the first place
I wrote like three sentences of it last night too
I have happy mental images too :)
no subject
Date: 2013-07-08 01:22 pm (UTC)It would certainly help, though I seem to remember some spectacular phone sex
I'm not going to argue at all, and may make you a special sweaty hug icon.
YAAY.. it's coming... sentance by sentance
I have said it before, but it really is a shame that you can not project your thoughts at will
no subject
Date: 2013-07-08 05:59 pm (UTC)Ah, the phone sex- good times :)
Sweaty hug icons are always welcome. Not that I have anymore space for icons currently....
It definitely is taking a while, but I am getting there
I know- that would be so much easier
no subject
Date: 2013-07-09 05:51 am (UTC)Not arguing there lady
How have you managed to fill up your icon space again! I am on it as soon as I get home, you'll have to throw some out...oh the trauma, I hate that. I feel especially bad when Matti gets chucked overboard.
And that is all that matters, well that and you have fun writing it :)
If only sci Fi could keep up with RL,

I didn't exactly fill it up. My icon space ran out recently and I didn't renew it because I still have some paid account time left so I'm just going to renew them both at the same time to make things easier for me
It's a little hard sometimes, but mostly fun, yes
It would make our lives so much easier
