So according to cqranking this guy has done a grand total of 9 days racing as a pro and he has 2 wins, 2 top tens in Algarve and 2 top tens in Mallorca. I reckon some pros would retire happy with a palmares like that. Nice career, thank you very much, I'm off to open a café in Ghent...

I know it's early, and Le Samyn and the Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen aren't exactly epic races, but he could be one to keep an eye on...

    He could be. I'm not sure whether his win at Samyn was due to a brilliant radical Cofidis tactic, dumb luck or an individual opportunist coup.

    But his name is certainly on the map. We shall see.

    Keukeleire's still at it. He wins stage 1 of West Flanders. :wink:
    Not today, though, only
    Stage 2:

    1. Robert Wagner Skil-Shimano
    2. Bobbie Traksel Vacansoleil
    3. Jens Keukeleire Cofidis

    When Jens was in the final of Paris Roubaix in Sunday it reminded me of afx's love for him. It's taken me until today to find the thread though!

    Shame.
