Lefevre is a sh1t
It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    He does seem harsh on Devolder. I bet if Stijn was caught hoovering white lines he would be out on his ear!
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    He says he took on Devolder (at a hefty pirce) for both the classics and the GTs.

    Though he's done well in flanders no doubt (thanks in part to the mega team Levefre put together), he's been rubbish in the GTs.


    £3,000,000 over 5 years is a lot for a rider who turned up overweight to training camp and lost contact of the main lead peleton in Dwars door Vlaanderen, and het Niewsblad.

    If Devolder rode for any other team he'd have never of won Flanders. Given his large salary, based on his ability to do well in both the classics and GTs, he should be doing a lot better than he is. Leferve's criticism is fair in that respect, although going public with it might not be the best motivational tactic.

    Look on the bright side - at least Lefevre didn't threaten to sue him.

    There's probably a letter in the post from his lawyers as we type. :wink:

    I think Lefevre probably knows what motivates Devolder.

    He seemed to put in a better ride today than any other this year.
