Merckpoel is metres from ‘The Melkerie’, a trainingsgroepje of pro riders with Yves Lampaert, Tim Declercq and Stijn Steels. The presenter of Studio Brussels makes it a point of honour to ‘her riders’ for the start of each course success to wish. So also in Steels, but today on a very special way. A kiss on the cheek, ended up, after all, full on the mouth. The looks of both of them spoke volumes, and also a comment on Instagram followed not much later.
“Lindeke, for all clarity: all Fanciers should be treated in the same way. Nobody should be pulled around! We are anxious for the following presentations…” a voice said on the Instagram account of ‘The Melkerie’. Also Merckpoel itself did not do much later: “Sorry baby, I can explain..” And now we wait or Steels, there is extra motivation depletes.
