The Team
It was a topic also touched upon by Het Laatste Nieuws, who highlighted how Philippe Gilbert was deemed incompatible with Greg Van Avermaet at BMC over the years but has since proven himself to be selflessly dedicated to the cause at a Quick-Step team that operated without one fixed leader, but rather a gang of four in the shape of Gilbert, Terpstra, Yves Lampaert and Zdenek Stybar.
There is a mentality on Lefevere's team that says you can win Classics without a leader, that riders with egos as big as those of Philippe Gilbert, Zdenek Stybar or Niki Terpstra have to be prepared to put their own ambitions aside for the team," Het Laatste Nieuws wrote.
