El Pistolero said:Boonen won 2 Roubaix's solo and also one Flanders. Same as Cancellara
A sprint is a better weapon than having time trial skills, that's what makes Boonen better than Cancellara. Besides, in 2008 it was very clear who was the strongest man of the race. Sprint or not...
Unless you want to argue that having superior time trialing skills will get you into a position where sprinting is not needed This was masterfully displayed by Cancellara in 2010. I don't necessarily disagree with your contention though, just giving it another perspective.
