nunja, jetzt ist Zabel der aktive Fahrer mit den meisten WC-Siegen , von daher rein formal so falsch nun auch nicht
Aber man muss hier doch nun wirklich keine Zabel-Diskussion anzetteln .............
Hoch und Tiefs (Quelle cyclingnews bzw Het Nieuwsblad ) laut Museeuw himself :
After a storied career and highlights including a world championship and Belgian national titles, as well as 11 World Cup victories, Johan Museeuw himself offered his thoughts on the highlights and lowlights of his sixteen years in the professional ranks. It's hard to pick out highlights from a career such as Museeuw's, but when pressed, the Lion did rate his best achievements in the following order, as told to Het Nieuwsblad.
1. World Championships in Lugano, 1996: "The high point of my career. I've now taken out everything."
2. Ronde van Vlaanderen, 1995 (Museeuw's second Ronde win): "To finish solo is nicer. Today I was even better than two years ago."
3. Paris-Roubaix, 2002: "The attack was an inspiration of the moment. Once the decision is taken, it's a fight between life and death, but I won."
4. Ronde van Vlaanderen, 1998 (Museeuw's third Ronde win): "After this Ronde van Vlaanderen I'm again the greatest. It is a declaration that I make without wryness."
5. Belgian Championships, 1996: "I feel more of a Belgian with the tricolore than with a normal team jersey."
6. Yellow in the Tour (1993, 1994): "How many chances does a rider like me ever get to wear the yellow jersey? It was an enormous experience."
7. Two Tour stage wins, 1990: "A stage win was the big dream. I immediately obtained two."
8. GP Eddy Merckx, 1995 (where he beat Tony Rominger): "I'm certainly proud of this win. It will stand nicely in my palmarès."
9. Riding the 1989 Tour with Greg Lemond and helping to bridge a dangerous eight minute gap one day: "An unforgettable moment. I had thought of doing something myself on that day, but I was the only one at the side of Greg. He asked me to increase the tempo. Mottet and Fignon both tried to crack him on the way to Marseille, but it didn't work."
10. Amstel Gold Race, 1994. "Of course, I'm enormously happy that I could set things right after my defeat in the Ronde and the blackout in Paris-Roubaix. Life can be beautiful."
Museeuw's career has marked by incredible highs and incredible lows, including several career and even life-threatening injuries. Each time, Museeuw bounced back, something he attributes largely to the support of his faithful team director Patrick Lefevere.
"[Each injury] got me started again, as if I wanted to set myself up for a new challenge," Museeuw said of his various comebacks. "But behind all of that there was also Patrick Lefevere. Without him, without our collaboration, I wouldn't have earned this palmarès."
So what were Museeuw's worst moments? He offers his list:
1. Crash in Paris-Roubaix, 1998: "It was destiny, nothing else. But the pain I will never forget. It was like a thousand needles had been stuck into my body.
2. Motorbike crash, 2000: "I was afraid that I would never be satisfied with the level that I could get back to."
3. Broken thighbone at World Championships, 1992: "Everything shoots through you in a flash. The worst first: career finished, a permanent handicap. I was finally put at ease in Belgium when doctor Martens cheered me up."
4. Puncture in Paris-Roubaix, 2004: "It was going so well. I cried like a child. As a sportsman I have a big heart, but as a human being, I'm a simple Fleming of flesh and blood. With a small heart."
5. Beaten by Gianni Bugno in the Ronde van Vlaanderen, 1994: "The first time in my life that I lost sleep over cycling, for three nights."
