That's cool.

Don't feed the animals, JT.

There's no fortune in that, but fame in one's own community is cool.

This is the official monkey analysis:

1.) Leontien van Moorsel naming a team after herself is so ****ing gay
and so ****ing lame ...it symbolizes everything that is wrong with this
sport and particularly the women's side of the sport.

Dumbass,

What is "gay" about those links?

There's almost nothing more pathetic than the guys who were on the high
school varsity football or wrestling team with their letter jackets
still talking about that junk 10-20 years later while they pump gas at
the local CITGO.

Thanks,

Fortune is made by proxy after a sports career, by either getting breaks, or
creating them yourself via your sports celebrity status. You should remember
the first thing teachers from high school tell you about the real world
after learn a skill, the breaks come by connections of through a friend, or
a friend of the friend in powerful places, etc. If they don't F-up their
sports career, their chances of fame and fortune are reasonably good, but
the fortune counts more obviously. Bartali never found much of a calling
other then a sports writer after his career, but most of the girls with the
college or University degrees they already have will add to their resume.
The sports accomplishments which depending can have a huge effect on which
doors are opened to them after cycling. The fortune comes from getting a
really good job later on and living the good life. That's what they are
shooting for. For most, cycling is a springboard to a better life, unless
you are a superstar like Leontien was. Now that's fame and fortune of the
highest standard for women in cycling. Her endorsements, TV deals,
commercials, modeling contracts, etc, etc will never ever be equaled again
in women's cycling. She was one of a kind, but most women aspire to the
towering heights by proxy in professional cycling. The more they achieve,
the better chances on the outside when they retire.



I do agree, the fame part is always cool, but fame without money is not so
cool but I can bet both Sara and Anna are doing quite well for themselves.
Most women come from affluent upper classes into cycling, so for them life
is never so bad, regardless.

According to you: Coppi and Bartali naming a team after themselves.
About this:

3.) van Moorsel's team will likely fold in a few years because she has
no title sponsor and so how the **** is she paying for all this?

"Leontien.nl" is her business, it's a women's magazine and pushing
fitness crap to the telemarketing crowd. Apparently it pays for things.
The team is a development project with only 10 riders, most of them are
young (Blaak is 19), so it should be relatively cheap. Another cost
saver: her husband is both DS & manager.

That kind of "fame" is bogus because it's small fish in a small pond.

The Olympics is quite a few levels beyond that.

What I have noticed is that even a lot of women don't have super great
teeth, although some do. Premium dental work and cometics are extremely
expensive. Since they are young, there is no need. However you see a lot of
yellow teeth. That's because quality bleeching treatments from a good
dentist are both expensive and don't last like Veneers do. Veneers never go
yellow, but they are extremely expensive. More then likely women wait until
they are older to engage in a lot of very costly dental work like crowns and
bridges, inlays and veneers, etc. They simple don't need them when they are
younger, but that stuff never goes yellow like real teeth. While a lot of
girls are from the upper class, they don't have that kind of cash laying
around, or are unwilling to spend it. Insurance often won't pick up most of
the very pricey stuff that adds the right kind of luster for star appeal.
Veneers can cost 15k or more for top and bottom set, and that has nothing to
do with crowns, bridges and inlays. Movie Stars spend untold thousands and
thousands on their teeth, and that doesn't last forever, because at some
point later on, they will also need root canals and replacements. That's big
money.
