List Top Ten: Voeckler's Tongue/Pain Face (add to it)

[#campyuserftw]

Thomas Voeckler's Tongue/Pain Face:

1. His tongue is the only element known to mankind that could defeat Miley Cyrus in a tongue-off.
2. His grimace in a flat neutral/feed zone makes it seem like Ventoux.
3. His tongue can see Russia. From anyone's front yard.
4. NASA is pulling back the probe from Mars to Voeckler's tongue in search for life, on Mars.
5. His tongue has its own soigneur.
6. Graham Watson has a special lens for, "VBFT".
7. His tongue receives suntan lotion before every TdF stage.
8. His tongue runs on Campy Super Record.
9. His mechanics and coach train him to focus on making his tongue more "aero" for TT and TTT.
10. His tongue has a tattoo on the underside, "I roll on gum walls".

He has some great "poopy faces".

[thwart]

Man, I love it. In a peloton full of stone faces, I'll take TV any day.

[regularguy412]

He's certainly entertaining. Doesn't always apply the most astute tactics. Rode like a crazy man a couple of years ago when he was in yellow and managed to keep the jersey for another day or two.

You like # 8 the best. :cool:

Rumor is # 9, that TiDesigns' technique is behind TV's success in yellow at the 2011 TdF, as Voeckler learned to save watts in his tongue. Props to Ti :beer: :banana:

here's a youtube video from 2011 paris-nice. entertaining....

[FlashUNC]

Oh Hollywood.

Maybe if he spent more time worrying about tactics than he does mugging for the camera, he might actually win something.

[Elefantino]

Love him. He makes the sport fun to watch. And that's the point.

When he finished on the Galibier, I was cheering.

Mike in AR:beer:

Ditto with FlashNC remarks.

TV is not the sharpest tool in the shed and Juan A Flecha has an amusing opinion of the frenchie attacking the break on the descent....Interesting.

I was amused in that tour as well a couple of years back, when he was solo in no-man lands trying to ride across a 3 min gap to the break --···?

[dd74]

Funny faces and all, he still makes over $1 million yearly to ride a bike. Bread and circuses, my friends.

[R2D2]

He still doesn't come close to the monster faces Hinault used to make.

But I like Voeckler. He does have some panache.

[binxnyrwarrsoul]

Man, I love it. In a peloton full of stone faces, I'll take TV any day.

Plus one.

[soulspinner]

4rth in the tour is still better than my palmares:p His bike is to die for, after the saliva is cleaned.......:bike:

I'll take TV's saliva cleaned bike before I take this one...
