Today's stage. Can Meersman and Swift get over this? Or is it a stage for Kwiatko?

Yeah, Gesink had a troublesome winter, not physically, but mentally, with his wife having a complicated birth and all. So I don't expect much either

a complicated birth. :rolleyes: seriously what a wuss he is. the guy can't handle the slightest obstacle in life.

His wife was in the hospital on multiple occasions during her pregnancy IIRC. It is not easy if you can do nothing as a husband and are powerless. Boonen also had a mediocre spring in 2014 (for his standards), because his girlfriend lost their child in March.

Ah, it's our Gesink expert again! I don't think there are many riders in the peloton who could ride as well as he did in the Vuelta, with the constant nagging knowledge of their girlfriend being in the hospital with serious complications.

Tbh, I think it was more due to him not riding MSR and his crash and injury in Dwars(?) than the loss itself.

Ah so youre still here, secretly hoped you dove off a cliff in the off season. Hope you die.

Seriously? You're lowering yourself to the level of Ryo's comment, or it may be even worse.
