What can you say about this man that doesn’t include the words ‘tough as frikkin nails badass mofo’?

  • Always love the muddy cyclocross photos.

    My feet get cold easily. Never understand guys who need full finger gloves and leg warmers but don't need shoe covers. I guess it is just how different bodies run differently. My feet get cold faster than my legs or fingers.

    Too much. That is the most awesome picture ever. They must have cropped out the jar of Nutella he was holding and pointing to. Cuz that's "I got me a jar of Nutella" face right there.

    New favorite quote: "Steeds en tandje kleiner", which means "constantly a tooth less" in reference to Nys's's's attitude towards constantly upshifting throughout the race.

    (Directly translated to "always a tooth smaller" but that doesn't really convey the meaning.)

    A friend of mine is over there right now, I asked him to get me one of those but I don't think he will come through.
