Vande Velde In the Spotlight


Very nice piece about Christian Vande Velde in the NY Times. It's so great to see this guy emerge as a strong team leader. And not just because his hometown is right next door to mine. Because he's a nice, humble guy who's paid his dues working for the superstars and is now getting his own shot at big wins.

He might not be as explosive or dangerous as Contador, but he's steady and he's consistent and good at all facets of a grand tour. I think he's got a shot at doing something really exciting in France this July. I'll be sporting the argyle in his support.
