But not as GC contender, after watching last year TOF and two weeks in this year Giro, i feel he has great GC potential, deserve a GC contender thread:D

First time racing for GC very impressive, had a very good chance to make top 6:D

Already very decent at long TT, how much can he improve on climbing ability? Can we expect a future GT winner from Belgium?

word on the street is he actually is very afraid of descending

Good one.

But that was something. More impressive than Andy at the Tour, IMO. And he just went on to have a safe descent. On the Morti-bleeding-rolo of all places :D

Yes, hence why the guy just said "He went on just to have a safe descent". He attacked a bit to take it easier on the way down.

He dislikes descending. That's not just word on the street, but his own words.

Thinks of what could go wrong too often, he says. Was even thinking about (or already did? Not sure) seeing a sports psychiatrist to overcome his fear.
