Rasmussen
Danish Tour TV (TV2) has celebrated Rasmussen in a referendum about his nick
name "Kyllingen" ("Chicken"). To the TV2 it didn't seem appropriate to call him chicken. He was quite cool about it himself and dissapointed the TV2-interviewer by declaring that he didn't care at all, if someone wanted to give him another nick name, and in the referendum more than 50% of the about 40.000 voters went for "Kyllingen". The history about the name: A much loved children's series in Denmark had the title "Bamse og Kylling" (transl. "Chubby(bear) and Chicken"), and once a quite chubby mechanic was called Bamse a team mate saw him together with Rasmussen and "Kylling" was born. I think the danes like the irony in Rasmussen's nick name. Chicken has just said in an interview with a Danish newspaper, that he feels obligated to attack Lance Armstrong in the Pyrenees, so that is what he will do. No big deal, no marketing smiles to the photographer. If he gets the tiniest chance I think he's going for it today and/or tomorrow.

Thomas (Please forgive my poor English - you should try to write in Danish.) Thanks for the explanation. Rasmussen is a little goofy looking but I would never have thought to compare him to a "chicken." Besides, we've seen him descend - the man ain't chicken. BTW your English is fine, far better than my nonexistent Danish. Let's see how Rasmussen does, he's one hell of a rider and has been making this interesting so far. Ron |

Thomas (Please forgive my poor English - you should try to write in Danish.) Good stuff. I'm sure being called Chicken isn't a negative thing everywhere. At least not like it is in many English speaking countries. And even then, no one is going to think he's a chicken in any negative sense. He's a bad maamajaama. He must be going to "go for it tomorrow" ;-) Your English kicks the shizzle out of my Danish. D |

He must be pretty popular now. I just saw a 10 year old girl walking
by my house wearing a CSC jersey and polka dot hat, and it's still a week till the tour arrives here in Paris. -ilan |
