Cycling < / i> They come and they go. At 18 years of age, when the pros did, I had already a lot of teammates seen. The winner of four out of five of the monuments selected are the ‘dream team’ made up of the favourite team-mates throughout his career.

Gilbert, was on Cyclingnews that the question to be droomploeg to be formed. The rider from team Lotto-Soudal’s case, seven of the riders selecting it, is not an easy task. “It was very difficult,” says Gilbert, who is to say that the riders have been chosen because of their commitment and character, in addition to the bike. “I have had the great riders have ridden, and with many of the best teams in the world, but I’ve been trying to make a selection of those who meet a certain set of criteria. But they are, of course, also be world-class in their own work, whether it be a sprinter, klassementsrenner or a servant.”

Bradley Wiggins

Start doing Phil with a name like a bell. Bradley Wiggins has a list of achievements to each other and rode for You to say, but they are the first to profstapjes as a team-mate of Gilbert, in the CO. “That’s when I knew, of course, is not that he is later on in the Tour, it would have won, but you could see that he had a great big engine in it.”

We now have two juicy stories that have the special character of the Briton inside. “You have to imagine, at that time, we have seen no e-mails or WhatsApp, so this was a communication by fax. Sometimes it also included a dvd player, as if the fax is not received, and he just won’t show up for a race. He did not give an explanation, but even so, he could be the next one direction hypergemotiveerd at the start. In the Lap of the Future, we had to spend a whole day in front of him before he heads on the road. Suddenly we received a message from the team leader that Wiggins is next to him in the car. He had just moved away without saying a word.”
