I was surprised by how strong Hushovd was and by his presence in the front group. Even if he'd made it to Roubaix with Boonen I think he would've been spent come the sprint.
It was obvious that Pozzato just didn't have, as anyone would expect, the horsepower to chase Boonen alone but at least he was riding in a more positive decorum compared to RVV.
