Trade Kruijswijk for Menchov, and... do worse. It's a good thing he'll ride for Geox next yearMoondance said:The Mighty Steven Kruijswijk was present in Burgos.... And is absent here.

A good prologue rider is a better indication of a good TTT-er.Sneekes said:VERY good question.

Frosty said:Not been around that much recently but could he be the next Bauke Mollema??![]()
The Hitch said:I should probably stop repeating what David Harmon (british eurosport says)![]()
Moondance said:Ahem.... That is 'The Great' Bauke Mollema for mortals like you and me...
Also, Kruijswijk is obviously the First Apostle of the Church of Bauke.
