His biggest wins to date include the semi-classics Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne, Omloop Het Volk, Paris–Brussels and the classic Tour of Flanders. He is generally viewed as a classics rider. He is married to the Belgian multiple national champion, Evy Van Damme. During the 2009 season he used a wood block under his saddle to prevent it from sagging in wet conditions [1], as seen in a photo [2] taken before the start of the 2009 Gent–Wevelgem race.
