Easily, Boonen. Contador's attack was awesome, but it wasn't totally a solo attack, he had a lot of help from his friends.

You forgot the most important thing, it wasn't at Paris-Roubaix!

Let's face it, Roubaix is the legendary classic.

For the time that I have followed cycling (since ~2004), Boonen's solo was the second most impressive I've ever seen, only surpassed by Landis. Beating everyone of Canc's solos. IMO
 
surprise!

surprised to see just how many voted for alberto

is that because it's more current / alberto is a more popular rider

if poll was repeated next year would many remember alberto's exploits in a poll of all time solo escapes?
