That has to be a lead-out man's dream. Those guys do so much work and pull off just before the finish. And they rarely get to bask in the glory of the win. But secretly I bet they all hope for a day like today. Steegmans did everything he was supposed to do. It just wasn't supposed to end like that. But he ends up with a Tour de France stage win in his home country. His team gets first and second. And Boonen gets the green jersey. It's like a Belgian fairytale. It's a good day to be Gert Steegmans!
It is only the third day and it has been a great Tour already!
