Sven De Leijer / EMX-1

Sven De Leijer is a funny Flemish tv personality who performs during "De Laatste Show" on Flemish national television. He was laughing when he took on Tom Boonen for what appeared to be a relatively safe bet, considerings Tom's unlucky season last year. For every race Tom wins this season, Sven will ride the same amount of kilometres... On his EMX-1.

Tom couldn't start the season in better fashion: two stage wins in Qatar and Sven has already 450 kilometres to ride. He plans to train during "De Laatste Show" and will ride the Tour of Flanders.

On the picture you see Sven picking up his bike at his local dealer Godeau.
