If he's 70kg he needs to get on a diet to lose some weight. KH is likely several KG less than 70.
interwebs claims he's about 71kg , he doesn't look entirely that small. In both height and build.
Link?
Wiki has him at 61kg but that's out of date. I would estimate 64-65kg from standing beside him.

The more I see of the 2016 Etixx kit, the less I see to like about it. They have had some great kit designs over the years but this one doesn't belong in that group.

A lot of it is the yellow logo which erodes the clarity of concept pushes it towards looking like Belgian/Italian pro conti team.
Disappointed seeing Boonen on the black shoes. Hope those are just winter boots and he's waiting on some white ones....

He's a funny dude, last year on his first race back from "hiatus" he won a stage in the Tour of Poland too.
The way he climbed the hata dam in the Dubai tour, wowzer!
Maybe though It's too early in season to be in such good shape? Another 5 months before La Grand Boucle starts...

I think that particular goose is cooked.
I wonder when, or if, he'll start racing this year.

Not for a sprinter, and especially not for one who has no real ambitions for the classics.

He beat others who also would like to win Tour stages... He is better than them now, and he'll be probably better than them in July too.
