Theo Bos. If you follow track cycling (former World Champ) you might have heard the name, he did pretty much nothing last season. Well nothing that most people know about. Cervelo relegated him to the second tier squad and he did not see much of the ProTour light of day. He did put up some stage wins in the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon and won the points classification. Garmelo did not pick him up, due to the sprinter laden team they now have, so he went back to his former team in Rabobank. Rabo is giving him a chance in the early season to see what he has, either that or they must know something that Garmelo did not.
Theo must prefer the orange and blue of Rabo, because he is hot. He took an opener that looked like a shot of luck, but now after taking stage 3, luck does not look to be his driving force. He did run into some bad luck when he didn't make the split on stage two and lost a truck load of time. Bennati is getting used to the bride's maid dress, when is this guy going to cross the line first? Haussler, Haussler, Haussler seems to be right on track. Talk about Mr. Consistent chalk up another top five, and give him a high-five while you are at it.
