Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

Nicklas_20b_c3_a4ckstr_c3_b6m_20__20jon_20olsson

In the now apparently continuing series called "Caps on Holiday," we bring you a sun-swept Nicklas Backstrom, his friend Jon Olsson and bevies of blondes in the medieval resort town of Visby, on the island of Gotland.

Rock on, Lars!

Is Olsson the Russell Brand of Sweden?

The link for his name goes to his website. The “Volleyball in Bastad” video is cute, and he has a ride that would make Mike Green weep. With enough labels on it to make Ovie weep.

Looks to be Sweden’s version of Ibiza, except this one has castles and shit.

You got it right Cluster, at Summer Visby turns out to a big party village. its kinda dead at winter though (dah hehe). Try to get there during Stockoholmsveckan, this year its the 29th week of the year – thats now. Last week smae people attended Swedish Open and made Båstad Ibiza like. And next week go for the sailweek at the west coast of Sweden. Theres yer next years partyvacation, and youll see tons of strange swedes.

And if EmilyB reads this, Visby (or Gotland) is also knows for Vikings. They where somewhat famous of beeing sturdy, and Visby became really famous as a Viking trademarket – where the Gotland Vikings took taxes and stuff. Ah its all old news for ye I guess, beeing all obsessed of Vikings :)

You Take Care Now.

I haven’t noticed Nicky wearing some serious bling like that before. Guess he keeps his better hidden than Ovie, Sasha, and Green.

He /did/ just get a nice raise. And perhaps the shopping is good in Visby.

Nicky must not have felt “cool” enough for the party atmospere so he threw on the Steve McQueen T-shirt.
