  • Supposedly he was a high level tennis player as a teenager...

    Just doing some snooping in BC, he did 31 races in 2015, cat 4-cat 2, another 30 in 2016. 66 racing days in 2017.

    You come across 17-18 year olds getting into racing and going from Cat 4-1 in a year, so not completely unbelievable that a 24 year old could do it.

    He’s been fortunately able to fund a full time cycling habit and train like a pro (which I’m sure a lot of young riders are very jealous of)

    No matter how long you spend away from your family in an altitude tent, if his genetics said 250w ftp, then he wouldn’t be riding in a pro team.

    Could still be a doping cunt though.

  • Trainee footballer before that though (did he captain Belgium at some point?) so wasn't coming from a zero point when it came to fitness/conditioning

  • I was going to mention him, but I guess finding your talent at 16 isn’t such a crazy story.

    He was doing pretty well in football before cycling...
