It is already 2 course changes ago, but Gilbert's 2006 Omloop win was when I realized this guy had something special (more than sprinting up the poggio). Also, if I remember correctly, Gilbert has the fastest ever ascend of the Muur (that year when Cancellara was going backwards)

Re: Olympic RR was said to be too hard for GVA as well :)

It's people not understanding one day racing. If winning RvV + GW + EC + WC + Quebec is not even close to winning TdF, that would mean no one-day-racer could ever compete to a tour winner I keep the other results out of the equation, since I think Sagan's crazy TdF (I think the best TdF a non...
