"Withens" generally refers to willow trees. In my area, likely Goat Willow, which is fairly common on the high, rough terrain.

Too bad he started in the third row. Would have been fun to see him in a real head to head.

 

[The Clogger]

Anyone knows when he is racing again? I can't find any information on him and his schedule. Mountain biking or road race.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Damn, this OP really knows what he is talking about. The boy is world champion once more. Next up: a repeat in the European championships ITT in Hasselt and a double crown in Zurich.

I was sad to see him go (unsure whether he got banned or just closed his account). But i'm sure he's still watching over us. Like Maria in The Sound of Music said, "When the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window."

I didn't realize we lost DNP Old

I think they deleted their account is what someone had said some months ago.

This place hasn't been the same since.

I thought you were they, or am just not in on the joke.

Thanks for this post, somehow I hadn't grasped that...

The latter, mate. I am him.

Or maybe he plants a coffee plant.

Yeah i know. He has the same username on other fora.

Don't worry, I also felt slow for only getting it after 9 days.

@DNP-Old?

 

[Didinho]

He’s on the startlist of the Tour Down Under.

Ps: haven’t read the Australia thread but saw the team just now on socials.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Let's hope he won't have the sudden end King Albert I of Belgium faced. But then again, I don't know if he's into rockclimbing

 

[RedheadDane]

According to Kim A, there's one thing he can't do.

Andersen explained that the former junior world champion wasn't familiar with the process. "The first thing he said in the meeting when he started the race was, 'I have never picked up bottles from the car'," Andersen smiles.

Despite his mechanicals, Prince Albert was surprisingly durable yesterday. I'm not sure how much he will get to race on the road or if he'll mostly do MTB the rest of the spring?

Very good result in this difficult/hard race at such a young age.

25th and hit the morning brak. Two punctures and had to give his bike to Tom.

 

[RedheadDane]

Quite the podium to find himself on for the young man:

Well unlike the other two he's already a 3 time World champion.

about what kind of rider will we be talking after his career?

Just classics? Perhaps GC in GT (guess not?)? Classics plus GC in week long tours?

Without saying he will quite reach that level (yet to be seen), the rider I think he is most similar to is MvdP.

He climbs better (so LBL is not entirely impossible) and is slightly slower on the line.
