Groenendaal not happy after doing most of the work:

Actually Nijs played the perfect team mate (his own words) by allowing
the gap and controlling the chasers. Then he sprinted past for the
win, in the back of his mind the unique feats of getting 30 season
victories and a clean sweep of the Superprestige races.

1) rbr's favourite CXer didn't make the podium, so he's back to loser
status.
2) he didn't flip the bird at his teammate, attempt to kick a fan, or
get all pissy about beer tents. If CX is the professional wrestling of
cycling, then Page is Kurt Angle.

By the way, it is worth noting that coming in fourth was that "do-nothing" rider
who only got a silver at worlds because "all the favorites crashed out." Funny, we
didn't hear anything about Page's ride from the usual suspects after Sunday's ride.

Hey, and while I'm replying, when the heck did 'cross become a team
sport?

I'm still smiling,

PS: here's hoping that Nijs is gracious enough to turn over an extra
helping of the prize money to Groeny. Do his friends call him Groeny?

100 % Everclear and flavoring. Diluted with something to make a profit
gin and not kill innocent bystanders. And with rum, you get a paper
umbrella.

And how do you make an Apple tini? Tell Jobs that Microsoft first
came up with the gin tini (they didn't, but Bill Gates found the
guy that did and made him a millionaire...).

Available in five 'flavors'? That may get an rbr endorsement, but not
a LIVEDRUNK one. That's the kind of thinking that produced apple
tinis, forgawdsake.
