Seems Hoste's still getting headaches when he puts in a proper effort, after his crash in the Driedaagse.

Nasty.

He's not young either.

    Poor guy, quite sorry for him. He's been plugging away for years but has not "his" big victory yet. I was actually wondering the other day where he was, if he was resting up for the ToS/TdF doulbe as a flat worker capable if a hilly breakaway.

    It's tough when you come from a whole line of Hoste riders.

    Seems like Aerts is going to give it another try with his heart - he had the age old question aswered: "Hey doc, when I feel that pain, will I die?" Doc said "No, don't worry, just go for it." I had heart pains, palpitations, and debilitating bouts of hyper tachicardia in 03/04, and had tons of tests which largely came up negative. It was probably 50% in my head - stress brought on by the death of my father. It eventually went away with the the words of a trusted cadiologist - but then I wasn't riding on a contract needing results...
    When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.
