Why are Belgians so bad at GTs lately?

First he said Thomas De Gendt was not and never would be a GC contender.

Turns out he won the queen stage of the Giro d'Italia and got a podium.

We did a top 10 in the Giro d'Italia 2008, won the white jersey of the Giro d'Italia 2009, were fifth in the Tour de France 2010, won on Plateau de Beille in the Tour de France 2011, had 2 Belgians in the top 10 of the Vuelta d'Espana 2011 and a third place at the Giro d'Italia 2012 and a win on the queen stage with 2 legendary climbs in it.

I think we're doing more than ok.

Considering there are about as many die hard cycling fans in Belgium as there in the rest of europe put together, not so fast

I am scared to write Spain's achiements in last 10 years in Grand Tours but I realized that %90 of them will have Contador's name next to it

Of course I didnt forget Pererio

But you did forget Sastre, Cobo, Valverde, Heras, Gonzalez... and that's only those who won one in the last ten years.
