Meet the man from Kluisbergen, one of the legendary areas in the Ronde van Vlaanderen. Dries grew up and lives in this small village, which comes to life every year to honour and chronicle the passage of the Ronde van Vlaanderen on the Kwaremont. True to his Flemish roots, Dries is a strong, determined rider who has found his own dimension during the last two seasons. He’s always among the best in the most difficult finishes. All “3S” needs now is a major victory to make that leap in quality. His goals for 2012? He doesn’t like talking about it, although he says he has some clear ideas in his head…and when you look into his eyes you believe him.
