He probably went too deep in trying, and succeeding, in winning the Tour of Britain. Getting your form right is one thing, but turning yourself inside out to beat the up and coming home prospect in a chipper of a race is another.
I don't think you can argue against the Belgian tactics, they eliminated a large part of the field and created a selection of less than twenty riders which included three of their team. A smaller group was much more manageable, especially on an urban circuit like the Leuven one.
