hrotha said:It's a surprise in that after Basque Country and Asturias he did absolutely nothing, while everyone praised him and he got ****ed for not being selected for the Tour despite the Vuelta being in his program all along, and then he failed to get a decent form for the Vuelta. His August and September were terrible, and he was courting different teams and seeking to leave Euskaltel (again, not just any team). It had all the markings of a spoilt brat about to waste his talent.
It's nice to see that's not the case, but I'd say it was the most likely scenario.

Dekker_Tifosi said:He lost 17 minutes yesterday and only did reasonably in the easy stages.....
Seeldraeyers had problems early in the stage yesterday (not sure what that means, but the team says he did) and he couldn't follow.Flamin said:Guys like Seeldraeyers target a few stages where they can get a good result.
Up there with the big guns in stage 2, riding hard in the breakaway with Kolobnev and TJ in stage 3 and right now in a breakaway again. That's a good start after a very poor year...

Dekker_Tifosi said:I'll only judge him after the Giro... see if he can confirm that result of 2 years ago.
I think he is more talented than VDB2. But talent isn't everything.Dekker_Tifosi said:The guy is turning 25 this year, time he showed something of that great talent that everybody in Belgium is speaking about.
But knowing Seeldraeyers, he panics at the slightest sight of stress. He's mentally even more unstable than Devolder
