    Teams & Riders The marvelous Victor Campenaerts, cult hero, thread

    "Cycling is a big boys' game. We're not asking politely to take the front, you just take the front, and it is what it is. You put your balls on the table, and in the end it’s the big boys riding on the front, and you don’t hit the front by coincidence.”
