JOHAN BRUYNEEL
THE 2009 FLANDERS-AMERICA AWARD RECIPIENT
Johan’s doing more than winning bike races these days! In late February, Flanders House New York opened its doors and honored Johan for his significant contributions to the relationship between Flanders and America. In front of a capacity filled crowd at the New York Times Building, Johan touched upon the shared values of both Flemings and Americans that led to his historic run with his American counterpart Lance Armstrong. "My success with Lance was based on many shared values that both Flanders and America hold – determination, professionalism and winning with integrity. It’s this that I’m most proud of – not just what we won, but how we won. We may just be two people, but I think our accomplishments exemplify what happens when individuals, groups, governments and countries come together with the same goals and values.”
Lance was unable to attend the ceremony, however sent in a video congratulating his partner. "It is an honor to send a video to my coach and longtime friend, Johan Bruyneel. In my opinion, Johan is not only the greatest coach in sports, but in the history of sports. He's clearly not only had an impact on me and other cyclists, but also people from Flanders, America and other countries throughout the world."
Pictures of the event can be found here.
