Great work again Pietro, I too was impressed w/the Soul Coughing reference. I hope Phil makes an apology on air to the slighting treatment of senor Oroz.

I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought, what a knucklehead Liggett!

Can’t believe that the french finding
alternatives to energy would illict such an ass hat response from him.

I have been a long time reader of this site and must say that I never expected you to tie a random Soul Coughing reference to be connected to bike racing. Thank you I can now say I lived a full life.

…& monsieur pierre…all joking aside, the article & interview that you & monika prell did w/ j.j.oroz for cyclingnews was great…

…senor oroz sounds like a very genuine & ‘down home‘ individual…not so full of himself as some in the peleton…pro cycling is still, after all, a job & oroz sounds like a solid young working man…may much success come his way…

…props, all round…

…now, let’s be positive about this…mr liggett’s awareness that he’d never spoken j.j.oroz’s name previously is a form of recognition in & of itself…it almost implies “& perhaps i should have sooner”…

…& perhaps senor oroz should be wearing the real “maillot vert” for his lack of un-recyclable contributions to the french countryside…& le bidons ???…quelle betise…those are chased & hunted down for trophies by french schoolchildren & overweight deutschlanders…

…not to be picky, but you ended your blog by mentioning “nice” whereas the stage actually ended in “nimes”…“nice” is east & i believe ‘le tour’ bypasses it completely this year…

…knew you wouldn’t want those kind of details to slip by…have a nice day…

Saw your piece on cyclingnews — nice work and great research. Oroz comes across as a nice enough guy.

Can you confirm or deny that there is Oroz consistency? As in, IS he in fact an individual, or is he a basque collective of anonymous cyclists all slaving to the orange lord?

Also, Inaki Isasi. Please orange lord, let him win a stage one day.

Well, at least Phil could pronounce his name. Guess cyclingnews also reads bobkstrut.

As soon as I heard Phil’s comment this morning I thought, “this will get some action on the strut.” Things could be worse, you could be awaiting the arrival 2000 Saunier Duval tires…!@#$%.
