TheBikeGame dot Com diva of diva-ness, Roubaix Girl goes one-on-one with Moto GP Star Alex Hoffman.  Yeah, that is right, ALEX HOFFMAN!

Alex Hoffman and Roubaix Girl utilize instant messenger to conversate. 

Alex Hoffman says:
hey roubaix racer - are u there ????

hello 66, i am here

I was sleeping the last 11 hours - sorry for not being back yesterday !

don't worry, no big deal

So, if u have time - 66 is all yours !

 ok

Start the game

So, Moto GP? What do you think about pedal bikes?

I love pedals ! As long they don't bite in my shin, that happened quite often to me !

I didn't know pedals had mouths...

hum

Cars are fun but a car can't fall over - pretty boring or ?

Did u ever Downhill or dirt jump ??

 

HA, my car fell over once; think that's my fault though...

Flat pedals bite like hell if u miss them correctly

u gotta go more dirt - u will figure out !

yeah, not anymore, i found out that my impatience doesn't mix well with dirt biking

So, how fast can you sprint on your motor-bike?

by running or turning the throttle ???

 

what's a throttle?

the gas pedal on a bike is handled by the right hand ! people call it throttle ha ha !!!

Hum, I wish my road bike had that...

I'm pretty lazy this time of year

yeah ! Helps to climb mountains !

I am still sleeping !!

we do 340 ks - around 200 miles and a bit an hour !!

What??? Isn't that a bit excessive? I think the most I've done in an hour was 46k and I was motorpacing...

OK, Who would win in a fight, Mike Tyson in his prime or Ali in his?

Ali rules - and he survives without eating ears !!!

211 miles exactly ! just ransfered it to your mile thing !!

Good Lord

I hope he is good !

Do you think Moto GP guys have to deal with doping like Pedal Bike Gamers? How much EPO do you think Rossi takes per race?...

Honestly, there's no way he rides that fast naturally...

just kidding

None at all ! I don't see there any advantage by using stuff ... I am sure most of the guys would struggle more with alcohol tests on race day than doping !!!!

(ed. a few incriminating sentences omitted here…)

ha ha ! not on race days !!!!!

Do you work with a strength and fitness coach off the bike? How about a pedal bike coach?

If I would work with a pedal coach my legs would not fit on my moto gp bike anymore ! Too much muscle. I don't have a trainer - I am my own one !

Interesting, so no gym work?

Alex Hoffman says:

yes ! but not a whole lot ! I am already a big guy for a moto GP racer ! No more muscles for me please ... just the areas we really need and a lot cardio training !!!

Cardio? So you would like to pedal a bike next to me?

I'll hold on to your seat post while you pedal and you'll get a good workout.

of course - better in your slipstream for two reasons

Which are?

slipstream and to check which gear you in of course ha ha !!!!

lol

Alex Hoffman says:

not because of the view !!!

So, I this summer when I was racing in Europe I had a few nasty crashes...

stay on - is healthier ...

Do you think I could wear one of your leather suits while I race on my Pedal bike?

downhill yeah ! U would feel so safe - but uphill i don't think so - they are not made for sweating, ha ha !!!

I don't sweat, Alex.

OK I forgot !!!

Sorry for that !

So u would kick ass in my suit !!!

I kick ass in anything.

A lot of talent and balls are more important I guess !!!

My best friend, Enzo says I have balls.

balls ??? No !!!

please nottttttttt !

LOL, He thinks I'm part boy, he says I'm nuts

part boy is OK ! But not in your panties !!!!

Uh yeah, tell me about it.

lol

What kind of bicycle do you ride?

I have 5 bikes !

WHAT?

Eric Zabel would be jealous of you!

Downhill bike from Cortina ! Freeride from Intense ! MTB from Transalpes ! Road Number one a CR 1 6.5 KG !!! And my old Scott Team Issue Phonak im my motorhome !

But I guess our sponsor is going to give me a Bianchi soon !!!

Ahhh... the Scott

NO!!

You don't want it- the Bianchi

yeaah !

throw it away

Bianchi Carbon with Campa Record !!!

Alex Hoffman says:

I will use it ! It is for freeeeeeeeeeeee

Keep the Campy and throw the frame away

I haven't seen it yet ! So let's wait ha ha !!!

Ok Ok

See, I have no patience

OK ! I will keep the campy and get a colnago instead !!!

Yes, very good idea

see !!!

A road bike should be sexy

and that would be a sexy bike

Alex Hoffman says:

yeah ! Like a girl !!!

exactly

How tall are you?

182 cm !!! 6 foot !!!

Damn it... I was hoping you were my height so I could steal your sexy bike...

Oh well

no ! sorry for that !!! But like this I look better standing next to u ha ha !!!

I use 56 - 58 - depends on the frame !!!

That is true, I hate when I can't wear heels

see again !!!

A lot of NASCAR drivers play video games. Do MOTO GP guys play Tourist Trophy to prep for events? I bet I could school you.

We doooo ! All grazy gamers on PSP or 360 ! Whatever, it has to be racing - no shooting shit !

So no Grand Theft Auto? That's driving AND shooting?

that is OK !!!

Ok, I was going to have to break up with you before we even met if you said no...

WHEW!

lucky me !!!!

Chemical Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd?

Depends of the time of the day - day time Lynyrd for sure !!!

Good Boy! (ed. she’s absolutely right,  this guy is ok!)

I'm a Texas girl so we love our southern rock

Nutella or Peanut Butter?

Nutella for sure ! No question !!!

Why do Europeans hate Peanut Butter?

I don't know ! it is a fact ha ha !!!

How about a Nutella and Peanut Butter sandwich?

mix it together?

I am not sure about that !

Nutella is like crack, I couldn't train or race without eating it first

It's hard to get here.

Alex Hoffman says:

See !!!!

I know...

I will bring some this winter ha ha !

I will wait at the airport

OK !!!

The Bike Game.com or Alex66.com?

Sorry boys but 66.com for sure ! So much work of mine ha ha !!

I forgive you (ed. we don’t)

Rocky IV or Rocky I

4 !!!! The one was so old schooooooooool !!!!

Who's hotter Jon Hamblen or Topher Grace? 

??? Don't know them ?????

HAHAHA!

LOL

Jon's going to be crushed by the way (ed. no, I am not… everyone, except Alex, knows I am the hotter, shorter version between the two of us - me and Topher)

Nicole Richie or Paris Hilton?

LOL, wow!

Both suck big time !!!

GO Carts or Paint Ball?

Both ! Should try to combine them ha ha !!!

Wow... I am in awe, you are so much cooler than I thought you'd be.

You're almost as cool as I am...

Almost.

trying hard !!!

Bud Light or Bud Heavy?

tastewise light ! Funwise heavy !!!

Roubaix Girl:

Eww, I didn't know Bud Light had a "taste"

German beer or Belgian beer?

I'm a beer snob...

Alex Hoffman says:

Oh what a question !!! zee germans were born to brew beer !!!

Belgian monks brew beer...

Alex Hoffman says:

u gotta spend more time with german beer !!!

Good thing Germany and Belgium share a border. That way I can drink a Belgian beer in Belgium and you can drink a German beer in Germany and we can still toast one another...

yeah ! Good things about europe he ????

Hell yeah
