New Saxo Bank "profile pics" plus few random links:

That time of the year has come,when the new "profile pics" of the Saxo Bank riders finally appear on the team website.I don't know what the riders think of this thing,but in her twisted little mind Fangirl imagines them hearing the news of the pics publication,checking the team website in a very nervous way and having 2 different kind of reactions:
1."This is my photo!?! What? Are you kidding me? I don't look this bad live!! And since when are my ears so big?"
2."Man,it could have gone much worse! Just look at the photo of the rider next to me...He looks like a monster!"

Luckily for everyone,Logic is always ready to interrupt Fangirl's crazy thoughts by remembering her that there is just one rider who could react to such a unimportant news in this way,and that one rider is Pozzatolocks who,luckily,isn't a Saxo Bank rider.In fact,Logic deeply believes that Saxo Bank guys don't care at all about their "profile pics on the team website",because they have other bigger worries.
Anyway,although Logic doesn't want me to write these useless things on my blog,here's my opinion about this year's pics.First of all,I must say that some guys' pics have got better (just think at Klostergaard and Klemme's ones),few ones have got worse (Chris Anker and Breschel's ones) and some others haven't changed at all (Nicki Sorensen,for example,had that very same haircut also in last year's pic).Then of course there are the pictures of the new riders,who have got over the "profile pic" proof pretty well.And then,last but not least,there are the pictures of the Schleck brothers which,IMO,are better than last year's one (after all,it's hard to take horrible pics of handsome guys...) :P. RANDOM LINKS:
After talking about "useless things" (Logic,who doesn't understand Fangirl's feelings,defines everything that has to do with riders' pictures in this way),here are (few) more serious things.
First of all,"the case du week-end": http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/riccos-partner-positive-for-cera .Yesterday evening this news left me completely astonished and made me think some evil things about Riccò and his girlfriend.Anyway,now miss Rossi says that there must have been something wrong in the doping test,because she would be a criminal if she doped and fed her baby at the same time (http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/riccos-partner-denies-taking-epo-cera ).Call me naiv but,since I can't believe that someone can be sooo stupid to use doping and be caught positive after their husband,for the moment I prefer to wait until the B-sample tests before of writing my opinions about this doping case.
http://blog.tv2.dk/chris.anker.ol/ :yes,Chris Anker Sorensen has updated his blog with a post in which he talks about hummingbirds (I am not joking),jet-lag and training.He also says that this year his preparation was as good as never before,and that therefore he believes he'll get some good results earlier than usual in the season.Logic was very happy to hear about this,since last year she had to bear Fangirl's complaints about the lack of Chris' victories for 10 months, and she's not going to to put up with something similar also this year.
Randomness du jour: Happy birthday Richie Porte!
