No great surprise, but he was always great to watch; his stage win into Lourdes in the 2011 Tour was a fantastic display from the big guy. it would have been perfect if he had managed to bag Paris-Roubaix - the 3rd stage of the 2010 Tour after the earlier drama on the cobbles was as close as he got.

I'm sure he's happy with his bank balance but feel he could've won more if he'd stayed at Garmin.

I'll miss him tbh. Not many big guys like him left, even Boonen is "small" this year.
