    Well in fairness, a) he's Belgian, not Swiss, so they like that kind of stuff and b) it's not like he hasn't had 1 more victory lap than Fabian has anyway.

    For Flandrians, being "humble" is a bigger deal than it is in the UK.

    Won't get any of that "Was beating Tom in 2010 on the Muur your greatest moment?" "Well I don't know, I've had many great moments".

    To be fair, the Swiss are fairly unassuming (apart from the belief that they live in the best country on the planet) and humble generally. Cancellara shows his Italian roots with his braggadocio ways.
