For all the Top Gear fans...

I found this crazy video of a Belgian show called Gala van de Flandrien doing a little a Top Gear spoof with bikes. My Dutch is a little lacking, so I have no idea what's going on, but it's quite entertaining none the less.



There are some great cameos, including a surprise Stig "reveal".



Watch the video here.

If anyone has any other info on this, please fill me in!

Basically it all started with a YouTube video of some dude doing 100km/hr behind a truck on the freeway: http://youtube.com/watch?v=dM5MC86LFDo

The TV show asked two pro riders to see how fast they could go. They also added a mystery rider dressed up like The Stig.

After that they brought out Cav to present him some award and do an interview. And finally they revealed who the Stig was doin 134km/hr. Gert Steegmans!

This is awesome. Great find!

PS: Theo Bos has done 140! http://youtube.com/watch?v=H-Pl-H3UJJg

Just checked Wikipedia, didn't realize Steeg was gonna ride for Team Shack next year. Stoked for him.

And Theo's gonna ride for Cervelo. Finally some real competition for Cav!
