But can we actually trust their website? Maybe it's just a major cover-up.Well, as Samu pointed out above; according to the Jumbo team page, they were, indeed, born in the same place. Which... is probably more correct.

One in the car, one in the hospitalYou might want to read the entire discussion.
According to PCS they weren't born in the same place, despite - you know - being born on the same day.
Thank god pregnant women can't fly (as in, can't take a plane).One in the car, one in the hospital![]()
This year you can actually tell them apart. They are going through their awkward post teenage phases/faces at the moment.Going through the conti-teams for next year - yes, I'm weird - and came across this:
Here's Mick Van Dijke

And here's Tim Van Dijke

Yeah, if they ever turn pro, I'm gonna need a cheat-sheet! And I think there might be a slight mistake with (one of?) their profiles, because apparently they weren't born the same place. For their mother's sake, I hope that isn't true.
They are real, but I'm not fully convinced they aren't aliens or robots though.Wait a second, there really are two of them???
All this time I thought this was one of PCS mistakes and ReadheadDane playing silly about it.
Yep two of them. Jugdiing by their Instagram's, Tim is more Road and CX focused (you could see him as the second Jumbo Visma rider in CX races aswell as vM Aert) and Mick is Road and MTB XC focused .Wait a second, there really are two of them???

I think I read something, like a year ago, where he said he didn't have the talent other guys have, that he has always had to work harder for it... Something like that. It didn't sound too optimistic to be honest. But so it seemed that he knows himself well and knows it's a fight for him. But what he expects for his next years I don't know.Watching GP Industria & Artigianato, i'm wondering what's going on in Knox's head. He wanted to ride GC's and when he came to DQT, there were only De Plus and Mas, who were his age or slightly older. Then De Plus left and Evenepoel came. I'm sure at the time he thought he was going to move up, considering nobody really expected Evenepoel to eclipse him within 6 months. Then Mas left as well. But then Almeida came, and later still Vansevenant. Both of them showing to be superior as well. In the meanwhile also Masnada came and Knox is basically last in line of an impressive young GC/climbing squad, passed left and right by much younger guys (Knox turns 26 later this year). And in the meanwhile Alaphilippe showed he can do GC's as well.
So i'm wondering what Knox is thinking. Is he happy with his current role? Is he looking to leave? Has he lost hope of growing into a GC leader?
You mean in total or consecutively? I know Adam Hansen had amazing GT stats as well a few years ago.Andrey Zeits is currently racing Tirreno-Adriatico which is his third race for Team BikeExchange. Which is remarkable because he was also on that team last year - for some reason, he only rode the Ruta del Sol last year. Maybe because of Covid?
Anyway, did you know that he is the rider in the pro peloton to have ridden the highest number of Grand Tours and finished them all? 18 times. A year ago, he shared that with Nieve who then went ahead and abandoned the Tour.
Missed post COVID because of an unidentified illness/sickness - He's a very reliable domestique in GT's.Andrey Zeits is currently racing Tirreno-Adriatico which is his third race for Team BikeExchange.

Yeah, pretty sure Hansen's in-the-row stat is higher than that. And that's not counting the ones he rode that wasn't part of the "chain".You mean in total or consecutively? I know Adam Hansen had amazing GT stats as well a few years ago.
In total (you're out of this stat as soon as you DNF once).You mean in total or consecutively? I know Adam Hansen had amazing GT stats as well a few years ago.
Cipollini had 21 in total, but only eight in a row.Any idea who the rider with the most consecutive DNFs is in GTs?
Rebellin DNF his last 10, but surely there is someone who can top this.
