Maxim Van Gils was one of the best riders of this hilly classics season and that's why there's no wonder some wonder whether, being such good climber, Van Gils could possibly challenge Grand tours in the future. However
Lotto Dstny sports director Kurt Van de Wouwer thinks this role would suit his teammate
Lennert Van Eetvelt far better.
"Based on his results last year, we knew that Maxim was capable of this," Van de Wouwer told Sporza about his Eschborn-Frankfurt sprint victory. "But what is striking is that he almost never has a bad day. He is very consistent."
