Guess you missed the sarcasm in my postTRDean said:Jasper..I totally agree...and that is why I hate this thread. van Hummel has always been a very good sprinter. Last year he finally had surgery on an artery in his leg that was basically making him a one legged rider. Now after a year of mediocre results and a good offseason...he starts to see the podium for about a month...then he goes on a tear and gets 5 wins!! Sounds like a natural progression to me. Also, I think a lot of winning (especially in bike racing) is mental. Win one time and the mids says "hey I should be up front doing this more...I am capable". Hence stringing wins together...at least this is how I feel about pure sprinters.
I should never have put Hausler on this thread... I really like the way he races, and it was wrong of me to do.

After the Rasmussen affair i don't really trust Rabobak and Gesink was awfully fast yesterday(like the whole team)
