I hope he wins some races this year. I even cheered against all the Belgians when he was riding cyclocross.
With the exception of a WC where the national bias takes over again.
Very friendly guy, the only bad story about him I ever heard is the one with his first host parents when he came to Belgium, but that's all.
He'll most likely be a domestique if Boonen is back next year though. Scary thought of a domestique being this good. Anyway, it's time for a regime change: Boom, Stybar, Sagan, Phinney, Vanmarcke, etc need to step up their game next year and defeat the kings.
