He's a real hero in Belgium.
Tom was in every newspaper every day for the past three weeks, he made the frontpages of every gay-ass gossip-magazine in Belgium, everybody's talking about him every second of the day. Our hope for the green, our savior, our superhero! He won two etappes and everybody was so sure he would keep the green until Paris, because he's a God.
Then his mate Kevin Hulsmans (from Quickstep as well ofcourse) had to leave the tour because he didn't make the finish line in time. Well our newspaper had about 10 lines (in a corner of a page) on that topic.
The next day Tom Boonen left the tour. Oh my god the shock! Two and a halve pages over Boonen (!), then there was the daily column by his girlfriend as well, because she's so important... The day after that they wrote half a page about how his knee was doing, fully detailed.
Doesn't seem quite fair to me. Boonen is a great cyclist, I like him a lot too, but jesus christ he's not going to bring worldpeace or something.
Give more respect to the other belgian cyclists, from Davitamon and Quickstep, who're working their ass off every day. They r0x!

Weer zo'n typische belg die niet met sporthelden kan omgaan.

Ik heb dat zélf geschreven, 't is in het Engels omdat het een reactie was op die Fransman hier.
Ik wil maar zeggen dat ik niks tegen Boonen heb, integendeel, 't is ne zalige kerel, hij woont hier vlakbij (z'n vriendin zelfs op een tweetal kilometer van mijn huisje ), en ik zie niemand liever winnen dan Tommeke.
Maar dieje hype die errond is, is ZOOOO overdreven. 't Is volgens mij erg lang geleden dat er een topsporter nog eens zo gehypet als geweest als Boonen. Die jongen wil volgens mij gewoon rustig op z'n gemak zitten thuis, maar iedereen "valt em lastig" tegenwoordig.
Offtopic: ik herinner me dit nog:
Omdat er zoveel mensen thuis belden naar Tom Boonen, en z'n moeder dit serieus beu werd, veranderden ze van telefoonnummer (privé-nummer).
Daarna kwamen de mensen gewoon aan de deur bellen om met hun idool te praten. Freaks.

You pick up this working girl who's hooked on smack, who hussles and scores. "That's all I do" she says, she says "Ten bucks for head, fifteen for half-and-half". She says "Three hits a day at 35 per", you say "That's seven tricks a day at least", but she says "Sometimes I get lucky. Once this guy gives me a bill-and-half just to eat me, only time I ever came".
You figure you can save her. You sell your color tv, that keeps her off the streets a whole day. You hawk your typewriter for one jolt. Then your shotgun, your watch. A week later you say "Listen I'm a little short", but she says "No scratch, no snatch". You say "Look it is better to give", but she says "Beat off creep".
One night they spot you on the street in your skibbies trying to sell your shoes. You tell them who you are, but they nail you. Then she happens by and she says "Christ you look fucked", she says "Hang tough!". But you don't say anything, you just think "what a bum rap for a nice, sensitive guy like me".

Ik denk niet dat hij het erg vindt. Hij geeft met plezier interviews weg aan iedereen en blijft zeer vriendelijk. Hij weet ook wel dat dat er gewoon bijhoort en een onderdeel is van het succes.
Een hype is snel voorbij, Tom Boonen blijft bestaan.
