Over the past few days I've been reluctant to tweet about Fabio and Dylan. As a fan of both, it pains me to see and hear from them in this situation. Stay strong and hopefully all will be good again in the future.
Tom Dumoulin explaining to reporter that he didn't have a good day, reporter tells him; "So day to quickly forget!". His response is what makes him a champion; "No, not forget! These are the days I learn from, but it wasn't fun". Got to love that attitude, great example!
Perhaps

should not accuse Jumbo of something he has no proof of, but instead give some clarity on the fallout of his B&B Hotels to mega team to nothing, leaving cyclists and teammembers without a prospect in cycling. That is something he can comment on.

When you have no tv coverage in the teamcar and instead get updates from the hospital bed, then you know you have a real teamplayer in the house.

It that time again. Dusted off the 🖥️and let is process all the results from last years again, to predict this year's races. Will do all .WT races and probably most .pro races. And some that I like 😎🤓

This is usually not Jumbo staff, but invited people by sponsors and are asked if they want to hand out bottles to Jumbo riders. They even get a crash course on how to. The regular Jumbo staff would give them bottles, but would you as a guest give the bottle to a different team?
Somebody pointed out to me that my Logo was a "Z". It has been for many years now, but that symbol has been stained. So, a friend of mine created a fast replacement until I can find a proper logo. Anybody creative out there who wants to give it a shot?
Tomorrow I will help

on a couple of cobble-secteurs with bidons, gels and (hopefully not) wheels. Very excited to support and be on the front row of the action at the same time.

The new site; is up and running in beta mode. It is in English and Dutch for now. Loads of data of both Men and Women. Feel free to look around and provide feedback on things that are not working or are missing in your view.
Been quiet for the past months.
Currently on holiday from work, so time for some stats again.
I´ll post the following comparisons between stats at the beginning and the end in 2019:
- Mountains
- Hills
- Timetrail
- Proloog
- Cobble
- Sprint
- LeadOut
- GC

's contract at Jumbo was ending and he didn't have a team for 2021, so he signed a contract with BEAT cycling. But luckily for him Intermarché - Wanty came along and he could continued on WT level.
And now this win the GIRO, BIG congrats!!!
I will be off this weekend to Flanders. To ride the 140km cyclo myself on saturday and watch the race on sunday. Hopefully the startlist will be final on friday, so I can post the predictions for the womens and mens race then.
@CyclingBram
When I was handing out bidons for riders I had exactly the same number of bottles as riders. So when the front of the race came past with one of our riders, I could not give one. When our riders would have pass and other cyclist would ask for a bottle, I would give one for sure.
A rare personal tweet here, but I'm in such a good spot that I wanted to share it. Been on a strict dieet (no carbs only protein) to get in shape for a trip to the Mont Ventoux in September. Lost over 25kg in 2 months all vet as I've gained muscle weight due to crossfit & 🚴♂️

So far these are the results of the predictions.

- 4 second places
- 10 stages with a winner out of the predicted top 10
- 13 stages with more then 50% out of top 10 in top 10
and still 1 stage to go 😜
Found a good place on the Oude Kwaremont. Almost the same place where Sagan crashes with Oli Naesen. Have a big screen to follow the races. What is not to love about Flanders

Suprised that nobody is talking about how good Carapaz was today. He was flying, closed the gap in the last kilometers to Landa and was only 18 seconds behind. 💪🏻

Aanvulling op het Kruijswijk scenario van Willem, met een beetje inspiratie van Louis van Gaal; Kruijswijk komt met 12 seconden achterstand aan in Parijs, maar nestelt zich in de sprinttrein van Dylan, die een gat laat vallen, waardoor Steven met 3 seconden + boni seconden wint.
