Hye everyone
Thanks for clicking on this page. This is a page were I will guide you through me career as a professional cyclist. I will start my 2nd year on the highest level of cycling but first I will tell you how I made it to here.
I was born on 14/02/1991 in Roeselare, Belgium. From the beginning I was interested in cycling. My father and grandfather were both professional cyclists. My grandfather became even a world champion in 1963 in Ronse. My father Kurt Van Keirsbulck won the Ronde van Vlaanderen for juniors in 1984.
I took my first victory in 2006, it was the NC ITT for novices. In 2007 I won the same event again.
In 2009 I won “Le Pavé de Roubaix” and Part a of stage 2 from the Niedersachsen Rundfahrt.
In 2010 my big dream became true: patrick lefevere offered me a contract as a trainee for his team quickstep. In 2011 I started my first full season in the WT. I was the youngest (and I still am) rider of the WT.
On june 27, I lost my girlfriend due to a tragic traffic accident. I was a hard time for me but I fought back and I won 2 races: GP “Briek Schotte” and the “Omloop van het Houtland”.
The team hadn’t had his greatest season of all times so there were a lot of changes, new riders, ... but I could stay with the team and I’m very happy about that. And now at the start of the 2012 season we are ready to prove that we have the best team in the world.
My profile
A lot of people told me that if they saw me on TV that I look like Tom Boonen. I hope it’s true because I want to be just like him. I really like riding on cobblestones, I’m not that bad on a TT bike and I’m not slow at the end of a race. Although, the green jersey in the tour de France will be bit out of my reach.
My biggest dream is to win the “Ronde van Vlaanderen” and “Paris – Roubaix”. I hope I can do it within 5 years. My grandfather was a world champion and how great would it be if I can put on that rainbow jersey one day. But that’s all dreaming now. But here at Omega Pharma – Quickstep are a lot of good cobblestone riders like Chava, Niki (Terpstra) and of course Tom.
Last week I went to a training centre and they made a “profile” of me. Here are the results.
The team
Now I will introduce you to some of my teammates
The leaders
Tom is absolutely the most popular riders of our team. With wins in “De ronde van Vlaanderen” and “Paris – Roubaix” he is one of the best cobblestone riders of Belgian. But after 2010, thinks turned really bad for our Tornado. A nasty fall in California ruined the rest of his season. 2011 wasn’t better at all. He only won a stage in the “Tour of Qatar” and he won “Gent – Wevelgem”. In “Le tour de France” and “La Vuelta” he met the tarmac again.
But this is a new season so everything can chance again (hopefully). Tom says that he is ready for the new season and that he is not done with cycling. The “Ronde van Vlaanderen” and “Paris – Roubaix” are still his head targets. Tom will test himself also in some bunch sprints. I hope I can help him in this season. Goals
Ronde van Vlaanderen: win
Paris – Roubaix: win
Le tour de France: stage win (and fight for the green jersey)
The current French national champion is ready to shine in 2012. His main focus is to help Tom on the cobbles and maybe win something themselves. “Milano – San Remo” is one of his preseason objectives. In “Paris – Nice” he will go for a good GC and a stage win. But his biggest objective is “Le Tour de France”, Chava is still dreaming of wearing the yellow jersey. With the route of this year, we don’t think it’s impossible. Goals
Cobblestone races: try to win one
Paris – Nice: stage win and top 10 in GC
Le tour de France: stage win and were the yellow jersey
One of the best, if not “the best” time trialers of the moment. Tony is really proud off his rainbow jersey and can’t wait to show it. Last season was a brilliant one for Tony with a lot off TT victories and overall victories (Paris – Nice, Volta oa Algarve and Tour of Beijing) and of course the World time trial championships. We will do everything to help Tony to match his last season. His first objective is a top 5 in Paris – Nice. The tour is made for Tony with more than 100 of TT kilometres. He is targeting the prologue (and the yellow jersey). The 2 other TT’s are also great opportunities to get a stage win. The world championship are also a big objective.
Goals
Paris – Nice: top 5 GC
Le Tour de France: TT victory and top 10 in GC
Win some smaller stage races (Volta oa Algarve, Eneco Tour, ...)
World championship: win ITT
Levi is our oldest rider in the team and he has a big advantage: experience. Levi has won a lot of stage races in his long career and is looking to win some more for our team. Paris – Nice and the Amgen Tour of California are his first objective. But his biggest objective is “le Tour de France”. With so much TT kilometres, this is properly the last chance for a good GC. We think that top 5 is possibly. I will not race that much with him, but I wish him good luck.
Goals
Paris – Nice: podium
Amgen Tour of California: win GC
Le Tour de France: Top 5 GC
USA Pro Cycling challenge: win GC
Free elements
Peter Velits
Peter Velits is one of the better climbers in our squad. After his great “Vuelta a España” of 2010 he had a calm 2011. But now he will be back in the spotlights. In the “Giro d’Italia” he gets his chance to lead our team. A podium is the target. If the condition is good he will help Levi in the Tour. He also gets his chance in some other small stage races and the Ardennes Classics.
Dario Cataldo
Cataldo is the winner of the “Baby Giro” in 2006 and is one of Italian next climbing talents. Cataldo dreams of leading a team in the “Giro d’Italia”. We like to give him this chance in the next years. This year he will help P. Velits in that race. If everything goes well he can lead our team in the “Vuelta a España”. At the “Tirreno – Adriatico” he will test his legs for the first time and wants a top 10 in GC.
Kevin De Weert
De Weert was the best Belgian at the 2011 Tour de France with his 13th place. This year he will go to this race as a domestique for Leipheimer. But that doesn’t means that he has no ambitions on his own. He has told us that he wants to fight for the polka dot jersey. If it’s possible he will lead our team in some smaller races and go for a good GC.
Nike Terpstra
Terpstra is our 3rd best cobblestone rider. He will help Tom and Chava as long as possible on the streets of pain and misery. Terpstra wants to ride a GT but it’s not decide yet witch one it will be. Most likely it will be the Tour or the Giro I think. He will lead our team in some smaller stage races in Belgium and The Netherlands like “De 3-daagse van West-Vlaanderen” or the “ster ZLM toer”
Sprinters
Our best sprinter is without doubt Tom Boonen. But we have some other decent sprinters.
Gerald Ciolek
Ciolek is our second best sprinter and is ready to get back to the winning mood. After 2010 Ciolek hasn’t won anything so we hope that this season is a new start for him. We think that he have the potential to beat the best sprinters in the world. He will start his season at the “Santos Tour Down Under” were he will fight for a stage victory.
Francesco Chicchi
He is maybe not so fast as he was in the beginning of his career, but he is still fast enough to win some smaller races and stages. But he will not only race in smaller races. The Giro is his mean objective of the season, a stage win is still missing on his palmares so he know what to do.
Gert Steegmans, Andrew Fenn and Nicolas Maes
Those 3 guys are definitely necessary in our sprint trains.
Gert Steegmans is a former winner on the champs d'elysees so we don’t have to teach him how to sprint.
Andrew Fenn was 3rd on the road world championship U23 and is one of the fastest young talents.
Nicolas Maes is another young talented sprinter in our team.
Full team
Sport directors
We have a lot of experience in the team car. With Bramati, Peeters and van Slycke we have 3 men who are with the team for a long time. They know most of the riders and they know what to do on each moment. Holm an Schaffrath came from the faded HTC Highroad team. Especially Holm is a great addition to the team. A man with so much experience is hard to find so we are really happy that he is with us. Last but not least is Tom Steels. Steels is a former Belgian top sprinter. He is quite inexperienced as a sport director because this is his second year. But nevertheless we can’t miss him, or young sprinters can still learn a lot from him.
That’s it for now. Later I will post my schedule because I still have to discuss it with the sport directors.

I know the teampresentation is the same as my OPQS story but I have just it just because it's the same team
Winners never quit, quitters never win.
It's difficult not to be happy when you're surrounded by Belgians. - Mark Cavendish
First part of the season: Tour of Qatar Tour of Oman Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Kuurne – Bruxelles – Kuurne Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen Nokere Koerse Dwars door Vlaanderen E3 prijs Harelbeke Gent – Wevelgem KBC – Driedaagse De Panne – Koksijde Ronde van Vlaanderen Paris – Roubaix
Second part of the season: Ronde van België Ster ZLM tour Tour de Pologne Tour de Wallonië and Eneco Tour Grote Prijs Jef Scherens Paris – Bruxelles Circuit Franco – Belge Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke
Maybe there can change some races during the season but this are the big lines. I really like this schedule and can't wait to start the season.

Hye everyone
I think it’s time to show you something. I couldn’t believe it either when I saw it first. The whole team is doing a great job in Australia. Ciolek won stage 2 and stage 3 and is wearing the leader jersey now. I hope he can hold it to the end.
But first the
Australian NC’s
Santos Tour Down Under
And then now the first 3 stages of the Santos tour down under.
This is the selection
Stage 1: Prospect – Clare

Another photo of Ciolek
I have had a phonecall with me friend Julien Vermote and he said that everything is great in Australia. Everybody is willing to work for Ciolek and that Ciolek is a great leader for the team and he appreciate our work. He also told that Kevin Pauwels is the leader in the KOM classification.
That’s it for now, I will be back after the Tour down Under. Guillaume
