Towpath along the Scheldt

Matthias M.R. Declercq wrote a book in 2016 about a group of cyclists who got to know each other along this towpath. Five guys, five nice guys. More or less by chance, they meet in the course of a few years, at the beginning of this century, because all five of them have one goal: the race. They all aspire to a career as professional cyclists. On the towpath along the Scheldt, from Ghent to Oudenaarde, they train together. Iljo Keisse, Wouter Weylandt, Dimitri De Fauw, Bert De Backer and Kurt Hovelijnck. They are young, virile, popular, and indeed make it to professional cycling. Their finest hour, once they are. But life turns out to be harder than the dream. What brought them together, the race, also tears them apart. Merciless and definitive. Five guys, five nice guys.
