Thomas Dekker comeback thread

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Thomas Dekker raced today, first race after suspension, in St Niklaas

Nico Eeckhout won the peloton sprint, Dekker finished in the peloton, not contesting the sprint.
Good to see him back

Oh and keep the clinic stuff in the clinic please!

[jens_attacks]

great,great the biggest dutch talent is back!

Saw this on wielerflits earlier today, great seeing him on a bike again. He seems to be getting back on track on a personal level as well, at least that's what I'm getting from his recent tweets. Good on him. I, for one, cannot wait to see him back in the peloton.

What team is he racing for? I heard he supposed to race for a slipstream team, but that looks like a plain assos kit.

Sort of what I was going to ask has he signed yet with JV ?

 

[Moondance]

Stay away scum...

I will troll Dekker here until the End Days

How I understand it is that JV doesn't want to sign him during the Tour, because that would just result in a lot of talk about Dekker and Doping instead of their Tour squad. Dekker will announce his team on august 1, untill then he is sponsored by some bike store.

He was the biggest Dutch hope prior to Gesink. Now he's like the prodigal son.

Gesink - The biggest dutch hope.
Dekker - The prodigal son.
TGBM - The pseudo great one.

gesink is sooo 2010. . . kelderman is the big dutch hope now

 

[Task_Force]

Gesink 2010. Kruijswijk 2011. Kelderman 2012.. and then TGBM causes the end of the world..

HA! Totally agree. Keep an eye out for Kelderman next year in the Rabo pro team. He's a big one indeed.

Nice to see. I am happy for him and wish him all the best

We still have to find Keldermans weak points

Maybe he falls at every corner in the TDF as well

Did Gesink fall as much as an espoir? I pray to God Kelderman is a great bike handler.

Gesink isn't a poor bike handler. Sometimes luck simply isn't on your side.

 

[Task_Force]

didnt kelderman fall in a TTT this year ? together with Bol

edit: still finished second though

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

we're dutch, falling is in our DNA.

We're also good at importing foreigners. The table tennis ladies who are chinese. The kenian woman athlete who runs for the netherlands, etc..
Maybe we should import a very talented Spaniard and let him win the Tour

 

[Task_Force]

Albert Rekenaar sound ok
