I don't see him ever becoming a contender for the major stage races -
he's simply to stocky for that (192cms/80kgs). As for the obvious
comparison to Johan Museeuw, he has himself stated that he doesn't
like that comparison much. His words were something like "I think I am
a different type of rider than Museeuw and I don't like these
comparisons".

Considering that his strengths lie in cobblestone races and mass
sprints (and has the green jersey in the TdF as a major goal), he
reminds me a lot of Erik Zabel
