A West Flemish workhorse from Moorslede in his seventh season with Cofidis, Allegaert is the kind of rider every sprint train needs: tireless, positionally smart and happiest riding into a crosswind. At this Tour he is a senior cog in Milan Fretin's lead-out and a free agent on the punchy transition days.
