Gastro or Allergies?

Gastro. Sporza has details, but you can just assume he has been spending a lot of time in the bathroom, one way or another.

Didn't Van Avermaet only turn pro in 2007 @"Predictor-Lotto"?

Regardless, 5 or 6 years as a pro is hardly veteran level. That's like calling a 40 year old man a veteran when he has done his job for 20 years.

Van Avermaet is not a veteran.

I believe van avermaet can take the cycling world by storm in todays race and amstel gold

I don't know...I'd consider 5 years as a pro a veteran...what does it take??? How many years of riding before he is considered a veteran?? He has been doing the big races for a few years now...he is sure no neopro...Maybe if he actually won something in those years he would be considered a veteran??

Anyone know the average pro career length? It might not even be 5 years...

 

[hrotha]

I don't think you can be a veteran until you hit your 30s. It's the law.

 

[TeoSheva]

news from the race?

I will consider also Sep Vanmarcke for a top5!

Jezus, how is a 25 year old rider a veteran? Please keep that term reserved for people who have been around for at least ten years.

What do you call Niko Eeckhout? An über-veteran?

Dehaes, Lequatre, Marcato, El Fares, Andrea Pasqualon and Bonnin ahead. Lead only two minutes. Rabobank working in the back.

mmm... to early for him...

how many kms left?

 

[boomcie]

I guess Vacansoleil wanted someone in the break, because De Gendt aslo tried. Lead is only 40 seconds now. Not sure how far to go.
