Dont mess with the King, you young wippersnapper

So we finally have some drama in the cross peloton.

At yesterday's Neil Jaamarktcross race, it appear our boy Neils slips coming up the hill and "pushed, shoved, tapped, moved, impeded" the King onto the barriers and the crowd was none to happy about this. Now this is the King's home town so you know that he is going to get the benefit of the doubt if this happens.

So the boo's begin to rain down on Neils. He in turn gave the "I'm number 1!" salute to the fans. The King catches up and you can watch the rest on the video below.

After the race, Neils make the "veil threat" to quit cyclocross ala Lars Boom because the crowds are so against him and they have no respect....yadda yadda yadda

Now Neils, a few lessons have been learned here:

1 - Dont mess around with the King in his hometown. Let him win and you can win everywhere else.

2 - The #1 salute is so 20th centruy at this point. You need to go all Bart Wellons on these people. They have been drinking Jupiler all day and need to "respect the world stripes"

3 - Dont get done with the race and threaten to take your bike and go home because someone "boo'ed you".

Buck up little camper, the season is just starting and there are more fat, cigarette smoking, beer drinking, crowd booing Belgiums that want to make your life miserable at this point.

And one other thing, please put your helmet on straight kid....
