2011 Tour de Suisse, Stage 7: Vaduz (FL) - Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, 222.8 km

Yeah nice style. But wouldn't you rather see them battle the favorites directly for once?

Well, in a stage like today's they would never stand a chance if they stayed with the peloton (not that they will win from the break, but at least their odds are slightly better). I do believe, however, both of them could learn to time their attacks a little better. But I think it should not be a surprise if De Gendt won a transition stage in this year's Tour already. He's a real talent.

We've got Phille and VDB2 for that De Gendt and Bakelants lack climbing skills to compete with the Dutchies of the same age for GC.. But on a hilly parcours, yeah it might be more intelligent

The Dutch with their little nicknames are almost as funny as the Germans

At least they're a little more creative than Gossy, Stuey, Matty, Heppy, Mikey, Cadelly...

Is that a real name or a nickname if real it doesn't count

Boonen needs a new nickname I think - gust of wind maybe,


or maybe Blow is a better fit allround

You've said this so many times. Is there any record of this guy ever existing?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's real name of a Belgian amateur cyclist

I found him once while searching certain u23 results for a rider that has just became pro (for my PCM database in 09). And in the results list, far down, was a certain Dries Deneucker.
I think Ryo Hazuki knows him as well for his database research for Eurotour (another cycling game)

Tom 'Blow' Boonen?

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Tom 'Blow' Boonen?

more like Tom 'Sniff' Boonen

 

[auscyclefan94]

more like Tom 'Sniff' Boonen

He'd get ****ed off if he blew instead of sniffed.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sniff I recon Tom a coffee table width type of guy - snort would fit better but I stick to Blow Boonen.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Well it should be better than 2009's stage. Should be some decent gaps.

All nullified by the great Dries Deneucker

I'll repeat the question. Is there any record of this guy ever existing or are we just making up funny names to prove a point?

 

[born65]

Was that the stage Cancellara almost won? Yeah, that was some epic climbing right there
