Julien is one of the riders on the team to bet on for the future. The Belgian with a footballer's past as a goalie caught everyone's attention this year when he won the Driedaagse van West Vlaanderen at the end of a legendary final stage with brutally bad weather. For the first time in his career, Julien also participated in a major stage race, the Giro d'Italia, and he was an important support for Boonen at the Belgian national championships. Born in Kortrijk but a resident of Harelbeke, he dreams of winning the E3 Prijs sooner or later.
