Proficiat Vermarc!

Gonna miss this guy when the bike is hung up on the hook. Lars in #CrossVegas 2011 on the top step with Heule and Peeters.

I think the radical change that has occurred is a large difference. What was once a easy-to-visit and welcoming nation has so quickly become a feared destination.

Voices: ‘It’s not embarrassing, it’s dangerous’: Readers on whether to risk a holiday in the US YOUR VIEWS: Our community is divided over whether travelling to the US should be avoided. Some say they will boycott Trump’s America amid fears about ICE and immigration practices, while others see it...

Frankly, if a European tells me they're going to the US for a vacation right now (and many people still tell me this), I lose respect for them.

So many people on this continent just cant accept that the world has changed. Most people want to pretend things are still normal.

This is what Peace prizes were made for. Not a wanna-be dictator plotting invasion to hide his Epstein culpability.

Ahh, the good old days of training camp in Austin with strippers and blow courtesy of the team padron. I'm sure that'll be in the director's cut of the biopic

Don't mess with our cash cow....

End of WKHulst table wreckage. Another fine race weekend in the history books.

Dutch scofflaws.....hmmmrph. It's no wonder New Amsterdam, aka New York City, is so lawless.

Amateur course designers already telling Vestingcross experts how to change the parcours in the comments

Just revisited your Saturday predictions.....😭

Nice to see Richard Groenendaal is hopping over as well

Lot of uncomfortable truths in story that seem to have resulted in federation-panties-in-a-bunch syndrome. Crappy selection procedure and national coach with conflicting personal coaching interests. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, USA Cycling.

That guy is better looking.....

Firm frozen ground, -1 on the dashboard display course side

I've always said that what cycling needs more than anything is more dinosaurs from the EPO era returning to management positions.

Apropos of nothing, I’m adding the Beckhams to the list of celeb families that have over stayed their time in the spotlight

Budget. Unlimited miles. UHaul has a mileage charge.

Not a damn thing. Business still putting war profit over people

No more AB-Inbev products from nearby Leuven?

Bummer, the only parcours that crosses an international border each lap......
