I like Foppen between all these guys. Seems more level headed and don't listen to no hip hop rapcrap. Only thing that's off-putting about Gressier and Wanders.
Not sure how the "hip hop rapcrap" argument is relevant (I follow Foppen on insta and he's bumping rap all the time on his stories haha) but I do like how much he's improved this season. 3:38.9 and 13:25 down to 3:36.0 and 13:13. Didn't really know much about him before this year until he started broke the Dutch 5k road record a couple times over the last couple months. Cool to see a Dutch guy jump into the mix of some of Europe's best! Him, Gressier and Wanders are all super young in that 23-24 range and seem to have a lot of upside.
