Vdb is such a class act, today's sprinters would have closed the way for Van Peetegem and put him in the barriers. It's crazy that this loss haunted him so much..
I appreciate these videos, but it's hard to suspend disbelief. Everything from the commentators -- an unblievable ride! -- to the riders themselves make it feel like we're watching a professional wrestling event. It's just one giant joke. Vandenvroucke probably partied till 4 am before taking his morning meal alongside a massive injection and then proceed to tear pretty much everyone in the peloton to pieces.
