I'll see your Jelle Nijdam..

Superconfex Yoko - what a squad!
Nijdam, Golz, van Poppel, Maassen, van Hooydonck...

saw him asking for a push on the aubisque back in the day.... big man suffering like a dog off the back
he made the cut IIRC.. rode for novell/wordperfect at the time... used to take two/three man flyers off the front on the flat stages with the likes of Jesper Skibby and van Hooydonck"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

Jelle Nijdam provided some of the best finales 1-2km run in action ever seen at TDFs...I can't think of many who managed to stay away like he could0
