Quoted message said:

From ProCycling:

Concern is growing for the well-being of Belgian maverick genius Franck
Vandenbroucke. Out of the spotlight since an encouraging Classics display
this spring, Vandenbroucke, say sources in Belgium, has scarcely touched a
bicycle since. Instead VDB has been pursuing his interest in four-wheeled
machines, and has splashed out a six-figure sum on a Lamborghini sports

car.

Quoted message said:

Vandenbroucke is also rumoured to be living separately from Italian wife
Sara.

How can they call him a "maverick genius?" He behaves like a fool.

Strange terms to apply to him. I don't think he's a fool. It does seem
that he suffers from metal illness. Sad. He had some brilliant rides.

Maybe he first practiced his driving skills in a Ford Maverick.

Maybe he should move to America, so he can be one of those 4X4 rednecks
we have to dodge with our bikes.

VDB = Pantani.

Alexi Grewal managed to crash himself without any (human) help.

VDB was one of those types that loves to crush Freds in a charity race, but
didn't like having the shoe on the other foot and face pros with more
ability than himself.
