Hi Maarten!

I took a look at the Nieuwe hoop Tielens web site and team looks quite good. Are they riding Top competition race or other bigger races in Belgium?

Hey, I don;t agree on this!

You have to understand that for the most riders on the Tour (90%), the "Classement"/ Ranking doesn't count at all!

The most riders try to win one of those flat(ter) stages. I is extremeyl difficult and demanding to win those stages- if everybody gives it a try!
A lot of people regard those stages as "little Classics", and they are regarderd as such- both by the riders and by the press/public!

Greetings fromHolland!
