PrintTom Boonen will ride for Quick-Step until 2013, according to a thingy on the Quick-Step website. Are we at all surprised by this news? I can't say that I am.
Press release quote!
"I always said this team was my first choice", said a satisfied Boonen. "I feel great here, it's like a family. There's a good, professional environment which is exactly what I want. Blah blah blah, etc.
Boonen's new contract also includes an option to extend it one more year to 2014, which seems like forever from now, but probably isn't. The time, it goes so fast.

Do I have to choose?
Wasn’t it rum in Hemingway? Or maybe it was gin. Man, that’s some good reading.
It even has a bike race in, no?

I liked the bike race part :D
Heh, now I’m thinking my afternoon plans may have to include espresso and Hemingway. Would this be wrong?
Just read that on my Giro trip
Loved it :)
If you haven’t already seen the excellent documentary Man on Wire, it makes a great companion piece to the novel.

It's amazy!
The writing is sooo good.
I hit some Ernie instead this afternoon, though, and that also was quite lovely.
There was a lot of wine

I finally had to AdBlock that image. Too disturbing.

Phew. Let the Tommeke/Styby bromance continue.
