An Intriguing Post in the comments section

I received this comment on the “Livestrong Mr. Armstrong” Post: I wasn’t sure what it said so I tapped into the internet superhighway and got it translated.  Translation below.  I think I understood the Spanish version better.  Regardless, i appreciate the comment, never had one in Spanish before.

España. Ese país que según muchos de tus compatriotas ni siquiera saben dónde está. Pero que a tí te acogió tan fenomenalmente bien. Verdad.??. Y que te seguirá acogiendo igual de bien a tí y a los tuyos (a tus compatriotas también, siempre y cuando vengan con divisas y sin provocaciones de índole alguna y mucho menos con prepotencia. O como decimos por aquí, con chulería). Bien pues, en este precioso país, pensamos que después de tu lamentable fair play en el tour 2009 y el de tu esclavo; ese tal Bruynnel. En el tour del 2010 vamos a estar todos pendientes de cuantos minutos va a acabar sacandote a tí y a los chicos de tu esclavo un chavalito de Pinto que tiene aún mucho que aprender y que responde al nombre de Alberto Contador. Espero no haberte ofendido con estas lineas, no es mi entención. Pero si tu susceptibilidad así lo entendió, me disculpo por ello. Preparate bien todo el año para la ÚNICA carrera que siempre has corrido y ganado. Será más divertida y placentera la victoria del chaval de Pinto. Y sobre todo, será divertidísimo verle la cara al superdirector de tu nuevo equipo. Que por cierto, entre las pocas cosas que hizo en su carrera como corredor, aparte de tener una oportunidad en un equipo español, fue la de ganar una etapa del Tour a rueda de D. Miguel Induraín (ganador de 5 tours, Ah.!!! y de 2 Giros, una medalla olímpica, otra mundial, record de la hora…) Vamos…. casi, casi, casi como vosotros dos juntos.

Spain. That country that according to many of your countrymen not even they know where is. But that to tí received you so phenomenally well. Truth. ??. And that will continue you receiving equal of well to tí and to yours (to your countrymen also, whenever they come with currencies and without provocations of any kind and much less with high-handedness. Or as we say around here, with charm). Well therefore, in this precious country, we think that after your lamentable one fair play in the tour 2009 and that of your slave; that such Bruynnel. In the tour of the 2010 we are going to be all slopes of as many as minutes is going to finish removing you to tí and to the boys of your slave a chavalito of I Paint that has still a lot that to learn and that responds to the name of Alberto Bookkeeper. I expect not to have offended with these lineas, is not my entención. But if your sensitivity thus understood it, I excuse me because of it. You prepare you well all the year for the only career that have always run and earned. It will be more amusing and pleasant the victory of the kid of I Paint. And above all, he will be very amusing to see him the face to the superdirector of your new team. That certainly, among the few things that did in his career as the runner, aside from having an opportunity in a Spanish team, he was that of winning a phase of the Tour to wheel of D. Miguel Induraín (winning of 5 tours, Oh. !!! and of 2 Turns, an Olympic medal, another world one, record of the hour. ..) We go. … almost, almost, almost as you two together.

  1. hahaha… It’s funny I too read your blog about Livestrong Mr. Armstrong… That spaniards response is probably to put some more light on Contador’s victory as [being connected to the spanish media] read a lot about Armstrong’s 3rd place taking away from Contador’s victory. I’ve been (and still am) a Contador/Sastre fan for a while but I honestly think Armstrong was the best racer this year… Unlike other tours, he did most of it on his own.

    On a side note, keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing your results!
