2009 Paris-Tours

In a clean sprint you would have seen the belgian championship all over again...

You mean the ones where Boonen just barely beat Gilbert in the sprint?

if you're referring to the fact that he's perhaps no longer a topsprinter I have to say that he was never a real sprinter and that it's logical that as he gets a little older the kind of rider he is also changes a bit, compare it to museeuw who won quite the number of sprints in his younger years but wasn't a real sprinter...

I have to agree with that

A proxy?

I can't seem to find any English streams.

The 'as live' stream didn't seem to work for me, but the highlights are definitely in english.

The double Dutch bus rides again, baby.

1981, Philadelphia, funkster Frankie Smith lays down one of the coolest little raps about skipping rope and catching the bus. Double Dutch, Gilbert and Boonen racing to the line. Dig it.
