Page close to deal with Sunweb-Blowjob

Cyclo-crosser Jonathan Page is reportedly close to inking a deal with
Belgian team Sunweb-Blowjob after a tumultuous season where the
American was beset by a serious shoulder injury but returned to take a
dramatic second place at the World Championships in January.
Page, a multiple US National Champion, started his comeback at the end
of December, racing independently with the support of small Belgian
company Morgan Blue. But since his silver medal in Hooglede-Gits, Page
has attracted offers from several teams and individual sponsors. "When
the season was over we decided to hire Paul De Geyter [a Belgian
agent] to help me out," Page told Cyclingnews. "Actually I haven't
signed anything yet but if the deal's on then I'm a Sunweb rider for
one year and a half, so from July until the end of February 2009."
The Sunweb Blowjob team was only founded in January this year but is
aiming to rival two of the sport's biggest names: Fidea and Rabobank.
However, their first months in cyclo-cross have not gone smoothly with
team leader Sven Vanthourenhout unable to live up to expectations,
resulting in the search for a supporting team leader. "There's not too
much available on the ket right now and we didn't have a foreign
rider in our team just yet," explained team founder Jurgen
Mettepenningen to Cyclingnews. "Page is interesting for us towards our
material sponsors Ridley and Lazer as he is the ambassador of USA
cyclo-cross.
"The financial part has been discussed and we have a deal, now we only
need to sign. Page confirmed after the World's so we hope that he can
display that level again throughout the upcoming season."
Former cyclo-cross world champion io De Clercq is Page's personal
coach but also team manager for Sunweb-Blowjob and has therefore been
an important link in courting the American rider. "Jonathan rode an
excellent second part of the season and I strongly believe in him. If
the team gets him we'll take a good step forward," said De Clercq.
Given cyclo-cross' huge status in Belgium, local media questioned the
team's other manager, Hans De Clercq, on why Sunweb would opt for a
foreign rider. "io [De Clercq] knows Page very well and he said
that he can still make some progression as he didn't live for the
sport in the past," noted Hans De Clercq to Sporza. "It's because we
couldn't sign Richard Groenendaal that we decided to sign Page. But
I'm convinced that Page can form a perfect partnership with Sven
Vanthourenhout and Tom Vannoppen."
Groenendaal's financial demands were reportedly too high with the
Dutchman now opting for support from individual sponsors.
Meanwhile, Page has been working hard on his Belgian home to prepare
for the arrival of a second child next week. "By signing for this
team, my wife Cori's visa problems could be solved as well, so that's
the theory right now," explained Page. "Anyway, it would be good to
ride for a team although I acknowledge there are negative sides about
that as well."
Asked for a response to Hans De Clercq's comments on whether he lived
for cyclo-cross in the past, Page laughed, "People can have their
comments... since my injury I've become more aware of my task on the
bike, I've become more balanced."

I'm afraid you're being a bit too literal.
If I said, "I own you!", after I kicked your ass in a race (we both
know you'd probably drop me like a fookin' stone, but work with me
here), you wouldn't think that I actually owned you. Slavery is
illegal or heavily fined or something. So when Page "owns" a city
block, it means he can kick riding ass on anyone who lives on that
block. See?

That works for a small town, but not a city. I've never heard of Page
even visiting Boulder, much less owning a city block.

Yeah, the MASH guy. He's a formidable advocate for basically left
philosophy. No Hollywood moron in him. I don't agree with him much but
he's incredibly well informed, st, and great at debate. I feel the
same about Asner, just a little less strongly.
Either, even just the names, should have TK foaming at the mouth
without even saying a word.
I'd love to see TK's various expert personalities debate each other
too. I'm betting your right on the result.

Why would a hockey player have anything to add in a debate?

Or did you mean the Mike Farrell who is infamous for his BJ?

I think it would be more interesting to watch TK debate himselves.
That would be something to watch. I'd give good odds that it'd end in
a fist fight with him knocking himselves out.

Perhaps his system diagnostics support deadlock detection on
multi-threaded contention. On the other hand if he's programmed in Perl,
perhaps not.

Ironically, that is heavy stuff. I sprinkle lue on the top of my word
salad, since it tends to float to the bottom.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Ring
"The One Ring was created by the Dark Lord Sauron during the Second
Age in order to gain dominion over the free peoples of Middle-earth."
One Ring - > Central Guvmint
"The Ring appeared to be made of simple gold, but due to the vast
power within it, it was impervious to damage. It could only be
destroyed by throwing it into the pit of the volcanic Mount Doom where
it had originally been forged."
"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring
them all, and in the darkness bind them."
"[D]espite its dangerous reputation, the Ring was not omnipotent, nor
its power over other people's minds absolute."

Now that you mention it, I can easily picture TK tossing his
helmet...errr....cycling cap in the air and twirling around after
every ride.
Pardon me, I have to go hit myself in the head with a hammer until the
mental image, or consciousness, goes away.

Just remember to wear a helmet while hitting your head with the hammer. It

His main street is lower case. Most places have at least one main

Sounds like something from a fantasy novel. Instead of "The One Ring"
(thanks, wikipedia!), you could have "The Loo of Intelligent Thought".
Sauron would spend his days in there, that's why he'd be such a tough
adversary.
It'd fit seamlessly into any Terry Pratchett novel, too. His stuff is
already pretty much like this.

Umm - Jerry - you're posting to a couple of the boards best known morons. If

Cool, now he can raise a second baby in Belgium and still pay property
taxes on his vacant house back in the U.S. And then when worlds comes
around in 2008, he can get his usual 23rd for Sunweb-Blowjob because it
is unlikely it will be another mudfest, which is really the only reason
Page did better than expected at worlds.
Looks like Colavita axed him from their road team too.
