he was one of my favorites. I am just not sure that he can get back to that kind of shape he has had before. I really wonder how good he really was being that he was a doper but it is not like everyone else wasn't doing it.

Why isn't this all over Twitter :D the whole of Belgium must be in an uproar!

Could this be the come back Belgium has been waiting for since 1999? Or the Nth failed attempt?

Either way, its about time he got something right in a race since 1999 or so. The big Belgium hope/hype finally wins a pro race (I didn't say ProTour if you notice). Yes, a minor race but a win is a win.

Gotta love the pic

, where'd they dig that up from, doesn't the team have a pic of him or did they not bother due to his usual short term racing for the past teams?

You really wonder?

I can tell how deeply you've though about things.
