Pentacycle said:I still don't get why his favourite riders are the Schlecks, he's already better than them in his first season! Still he's a great guy with a massive talent, hopefully he doesn't spoil it by targeting Amstel Gold or by crashing all the time.

Maaaaaaaarten said:So the question this TDF will be: can Kelderman get enough time on Wiggins in the mountains?
With Gesink, Mollema and Kruijswijk Rabobank have the strongest mountain domestiques: TAWK should be able to pressure Wiggo in the mountains.
Contre la montre said:Gesink just twittered that he intends to win a couple of races before everybody will be pulling for Wilco
nevermind
He says that he'd like Andy to win the Tour, because he likes him better than Evans. That's it. Maybe his favourite rider is Kenny van Hummel, for all we knowPentacycle said:http://www.rabosport.nl/t:Robert Ge..._Kelderman_vindt_Andy_Schleck_'mooiere_renner' This article says it all, but maybe he's changed his mind since then

Azabael said:If you thereby assume the Schlecks are his favorite riders, you might want to work on your selective reading condition.
Red Rick said:You mean Kenny van Hummel isn't everyone's favourite rider?
Arnout said:Of course not, guy is not good enough to ride in the Tour and that's the only reason he became a "hero". I would be ashamed to be known only for something that I can't do.
Arnout said:Not really, but the fact that we're even talking about Van Hummel is blasphemy.
Der Effe said:It's the same reason why Hoogerland was almost knighted last summer. In the absence of good results - in especially the Tour de France - people look for such kind of things.

theyoungest said:Van Hummel rode entire mountain stages on his own... I dare you to do the same. Guys like Napolitano already abandoned, he just soldiered on.
Arnout said:The Hoogerland case is a bit different to me, as what happened was beyond his control, and he was a class act after it.
Van Hummel was just pathetic and if he would've taken himself seriously, he would've pulled out after the first mountain stage.
You mean Gert Jakobs was lying when he said that?Der Effe said:It clearly is different, but my point's still the same. With more success you woudn't have heard so much about it. People talked about Hoogerland if he just single handedly solved the problem between Palestine and Israel.
