I do hope Museeuw is at his best, but I don't think he is. I reread the Gent-Wevelgem live report on
cyclingnews.com. That's not the same as seeing it in person, but it'll have to do. From that
description, although he lead many of the climbs, he never caused a split, and then missed out when
the end game started. That sounds to me like he's not at his best. I could be wrong, but not
laughably wrong.
