Balkjes is not an English word  People act like Boom is a noob on technical stuff, why? He is one of the best cyclocrossers on this earth, and there where some short corners, and Boom accelerates faster then anyone so they should have been an advantage for him
i know but i dont know the english word for "small pieces of wood placed on the ground"
and hes not a noob technically, but hes not superduper either =)
and short corners are to his disadvantage because hes tall and doesnt take his corners as well as Nys or Stybar or whoever

Disagree, he might go a little slower in the turns but Boom at his best, when he accelerates, then those turns are sure to his advantage, thats what he says... (Boom lives about 1.5 km from my house) |

Yes but I do think you where talking about Hoogerheide but youre right, with a lot of corners there is no time to accelerate |

yeah a few short u-turns in a row and Boom loses 20 meters. Like in Milan. But he can still do good there if in top shape. Too bad that in Hoogerheide he was already ill again. |

Yes, and when he came home his trainer told me that the belgiums had shouted at him like football supporters. |

On NCL there was a Belgian who was there and told about the constat booing, while the Dutch supporters simply cheered for everybody.
Damn the Belgian minority complex they have against the Dutch since birth. |

Thijs Al wins in Heerlen, he won solo.
2. Berden
3. De Knegt
4. Groenendaal
5. Boom
Boom also announced in Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad that he will not ride the world championship cyclocross in 2010, instead, he will focus on the spring classics on the road that year.
Also, he will only ride 5 crosses next winter... |
