A Frustrating Season
After exploding onto the scene in 2015, a lot was expected of Tiesj Benoot in 2016. Still an incredibly young man, he only turned 22 in March, competing at such a high level at this age is remarkable. It is a sign of pure talent, but expectations can get too high.

What’s next for the Olympic champion?
A little under four weeks ago Greg Van Avermaet’s life changed forever. The Belgian went into the Olympic Games as a tipped rider but, frankly, not as one of the favourites.

Jasper Stuyven knows that Rome wasn’t built in a day: he spent half a week on holiday there with his girlfriend this winter. Naturally, most of it was seen from the saddle, though he swapped his racy Trek for a rented bicycle. He rode around the Colosseum, but didn’t enter.

Tom Boonen has not had the best of seasons over the past couple of years, but with only (maybe) one or two left, he is hoping for some better luck. With one of the best and longest palmarès in the pro peloton, a couple more Classic wins would put him in the record books for a long time; five wins in

Hoping to come of age in the Classics
Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) may not have landed an individual stage at the Tour of Qatar since he won into Mesaieed on just his fifth race day as a professional rider back in 2007, but in the game of shadow boxing that is early-season racing in the Gulf, the softly-spoken Belgian is almost always mentio
