  • About Me:

    Soloed to two stage wins in three days at the 2010 Tour de Suisse, and won the points classification … Won Tour de France stage in 2008 and owns a Classics victory at Gent-Wevelgem in 2007 … Immortalized in Tour de France history in 2007 when a dog crossed the course in front of him, spectacularly collapsing his front wheel.
