From 1993 on, [Edwige van Hooydonck] was on the
downgrade, finished sixth and ninth the year after. He realised he
would never reach the top again. He doubted the new Italian training
methods. In 1991, he rode to the top of the Bosberg with a gear of
approximately 5 meters while Bartoli in 1996 rushed to the top with a
gear of 7 meters.

Dude,

You of all people should know what this means. The
"Italian training methods," indeed.

In may of 1996 he stopped cycling. He was not yet
thirty years old. Now he is a successful dealer in aluminium windows
and doors.

Maybe Decanio should look into selling aluminum siding,
like in Tin Men.
