TOUR DE FRANCE





De Ronde van Frankrijk is begonnen. Natuurlijk ben ik blij als een Belg een etappe wint.
Mijn lievelingsrenners zijn echter Lance Armstrong, Juan Antonio Flecha, Jens Voigt en Christophe Moreau. Het zijn stuk voor stuk moedige, aanvallende renners. Alleen Flecha is nog niet "oud". De andere drie zijn "fin de carrière" en al ongeveer 38 jaar oud.

Armstrong, Flecha, Moreau and Voight are my favourite riders. They are very courageous and do not hesitate to attack very often. Still I am happy when a Belgian rider wins a stage.

Armstrong, Flecha, Moreau et Voigt: des coureurs courageux, de vrais baroudeurs.

Armstrong, Flecha, Moreau und Voigt: sind alle sehr gute Rennfahrer, die immer wieder attackieren und die Hoffnung nie aufgeben.
