Theres always next year. He took another step this season apart from a mediocre ride in Flanders where he got completely outshone by the brilliance of Mathieau. I believe he has all the tools to win especially Roubaix, but was plagued bu bad luck last year and especially this year. Hopefully Lotto NL will pull their heads our their dutch asses and support him better in Roubaix next year.
