Keukeleire Jens

[Michele]

I've seen the finish of Le Samyn and the guy won in quiet an impressive way.
Today he got one more victory under his belt and even if he ended tomorrow his season it would still be a positive one.

Does anyone has more info? For example of his U23 years? Did he win any big one in that category?

He was fourth in last year's U23 Euro Champs. Do you have a link for his Samyn win?

We had some articles about the guy in Het Nieuwsblad recently (don't know if they are published on http://www.sportwereld.be).

Apparently Nico Mattan discovered Keukeleire and tried to get him a spot at Quick Step. Lefevere however found he was too young and lacked results in european U23 races (because he rode in a small team that concentrated on local races). As a former Cofidis rider, Mattan was able to get Keukelaere a contract there.

Ha, I know more than Lefévre then, cause the boy's in my fantasy team. The cheapest rider int he entire game and he's making me proud!

I'm happy for Cofidis they got those wins! But if he keeps winning like that, he's not gonna be at Cofidis for long ...
I'm also excited to see how Julien El Fares will do this season!
