Boonen recently said "why should I not take risks in the sprints anymore?". This is why Tom! Just stay safe and make sure you at least get to race the classics ffs!

QS out of position, too far behind at that point tbh.

@Ruudz0r he wasn't the first to go down, it was the rider in front of him.

Not sure if Boonen actually crashed. Commentator on Sporza said so but now I'm reading he was just held up by a crash in front of him.

To me it looked like the two hot steppers Gaviria and Boonen crashed first. Not surprising since they are pretty crash prone. Like Contador, it seems to have gotten into Tommeke's head, it can't be a coincidence crashing this much.

It probably isn't, but it very much can be the case.
