Real chase?

Captains did nothing, domestiques weren't strong enough.
Most will dislike my comment, but Cancellara would have won both vlaanderen and roubaix.

Fabian wouldn't have been able to drop Tom today.

come on man, seriously..
Canc indeed looked good, but when exactly did he proof to be the 'best man' this season?

Remember Boonen nearly got dropped at Paterberg even by Ballan and Pozzato.

As if you can possibly say that with any certainty. This is a classic, nothing is certain, the best you can say is "Cancellara would have had a very good chance. With the form he has today, I have to say that Canc would not drop him on the flat.

Also, look at that - 4! 4!

Seeing how strong Tom is, even if ballan or pozzato stuck with Boonen, I dont think they would have a chance.

Boonen is the strongest today; the others less so. Chased by a chase group who didn't and couldn't chase effectively.

Boonen on another level today. So impressive. A true legend right there.

Sky should have went all in for Flecha, not hoping for EBH finally coming through.

Cancellara would have fallen off if he was riding.
