All my respect to Hoogerland, great attractive rider (reminds me a bit of Ludo Diercxssens)... Yesterday, he was riding with a 'Per te VDB' slogan on his t-shirt... Nice gesture !

Ok, then you are 4given ;)

You're right of course, just wanting to say that cycling is not science, although getting older/stronger and a better team should help a lot...

Yeah, great, wasn't it? Sanremo, maybe, but what about RVV & LBL? A gilbert with this condition can do it almost everywhere...

I do not agree, Gilbert is one year older, stronger... And SL is a better team then FDJ... That's all... That's how it is in cycling, you have teams with small budgets and then you have teams with big budgets...

As I stated, my list has nothing to do with riders performances, but everything with how I remember those riders since I was young and started ACTIVELY following cycling.. based on the heart... After 1980. Everyone can read cyclingrankings, can't we? If everyone would think his top 10...

Here, the list of my heart. If you want a ranking list, just look at the rankings... I just started follow cycling since i was born :-) so, only riders after 1980 are in... 1) Frank VDB (nothing to do with him RIP, i have always been a very big fan) 2) Philippe Gilbert (always been a...

Mr 100% I don't think so, Gilbert won easily though made the mistake to think he already won... that's why he had to sprint twice :-) Great win ! What a week ! Monsieur 100% ! Funny, did you see Cadel and Gilbert hugging... a bit shy both, i thought...

Rip vdb I'm still shocked. And Very sad. Yes, you could expect this, still. I saw Frank one month ago in a criterium in Izegem. He looked better than ever, enjoying the (still and always lasting attention from the (belgian) public). He looked healthy, full of life... and just, happy...

Go cadel you're right, the management of silence lotto is very happy, in their first reaction on the belgian television Gilbert did a good one for Silence - Lotto too ! I'm not a big fan of Evans... but he surely deserves this and I'm happy for him!!

Dewaele BTW Bert Dewaele is married to my niece ! Great day for him !!

?? ?? yes, what should they do, according to you ?? :eek::eek: Nothing wrong, great tactics from the belgians... they are not the favorites...

aussies? why the hell do they do all this work? They're dead before things start... just let valverde, gesink, cunego, gilbert get nervous would be a much better option IMO.

hardly blame them :) you know names like that exist here :)

why why would they do that?! So far, so good for the belgians...
