Teams & Riders The official Wilco Kelderman is the new Merckx-thread

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Thomas Dekker has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Moondance may rule the fate of many.

Now do it with Shakespear

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

to be or not to be?

 

[Ferminal]

He should be a good domestique for Steven in the Tour next year.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

in all seriousness tho, I don't think wilco will ride a GT until 2013. Probably being the vuelta.

 

[Parrulo]

what happens if wilco turns out to be just another rider that reached his peak too soon and then becomes average as a pro?

 

[pedaling squares]

Saw that photo and figured that Emma Pooley had switched teams.

 

[craig1985]

And started pretending to be a dude.

 

[yetanothergreenworld]

While still so young, he already wins mountain stages, hilly stages, time trials, prologues and even mass sprints in the U23 category.

Sounds like Yaroslav Popovych to me. Let's hope I'm wrong.

 

[Tuarts]

Who is this guy? Can someone shine a torch on him or something? He's standing in the shadow of Boasson Hagen and Sagan.

Previous tour of Norway winners include Thor and EBH. might turn out to be a similar type of rider than a GC rider.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Yeah, too much of a pretty boy. The new Merckx - more like the new Pozzato.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. He doesn't look like a hard man.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Should be a great fight with Mollema over 70th position in le tour 2014!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Looks like he came straight out of a Japanese RPG. Let's hope he can cope with losing.

 

[Moondance]

Also it has not escaped my notice that you fail to mention the great hope Thomas who cometh from the same ilk as Eirk the Brave.

Ahhh yes. It was most fortune that Pat the Corrupt was able to expose the failings of the the False Prophet Thomas the Arrogant.

I once held great belief that Thomas would be saviour of the Dutch people, however, my misreading of scripture led to great disappointment and embarrassment.

Hahaha. Someone should photoshop him as Link.

 

[Moondance]

Wilco will ride later this week in the Tour of Alsace... Niiiice.

 

[Kwibus]

Whats more, moderating supremo, Francois the Postman, who is also a Dutchie, and even held a Dutch Mafia meeting in his castle in Scotland (apparently) has vanished from the forum.

Let's hope he just left for the TdF madness on this forum. I can imagine that he doesn't really enjoy that.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hahaha. Someone should photoshop him as Link.

I was thinking more about Cloud and Sora:

he also won thüringer rundfahrt and was 10th in the tour l'avenir as 19 year old
so no.
he is also not build like hagen and hushovd

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I forgot to say he won that race last year by winning on top of Ballon d'Alsace

yep, really nice comparison with hushovd and hagen there

 

[vcampbell]

So young and already gifting stages to the others? TGBM vol. 2.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

he was 19.

 

[Zoncolan]

He needs to score some testosterone ASAP, looks too girlish.

 

[Task_Force]

looking forward to his first year with the pro's .. he is a huge talent and i hope it will show soon
