Congrats Tom and Levi.
Btw, JJ second first stage, LS fifth second stage, JJ second 6th stage, LS 7th 7th stage. Why in God's name did Saxo work for LS? Maybe JJ would've won one of those two stages.

I think a lot of people underestimate how fast Boonen still is. Back in his glory days he could always count on a good train and leadout, the last few years he had to deal with injuries and he didn't have a train anymore. Boonen isn't the best when it comes to positioning him self in a sprint, that's why he would benefit greatly from a leadout train. Now QS have the resources to put up a great sprinting train, perhaps the strongest one in the peloton if they bring their A team. Peter and Martin Velits, Tony Martin, Francesco Chichi, Matt Brammeier, Gerald Ciolek, Gert Steegmans and Bert Grabsch can form a decent leadout train for Boonen.
I even saw some people on this forum argue that Cancellara was faster than Boonen nowadays

Very true, his sprinting in last year's Gent-Wevelgem was very impressive

I think they worked for JJ, but he has lost somewhere, and LS replaced him. Not a problem JJ will own on TdF!

Let's wait until he beats some real opposition again before getting too carried away
Quite funny how these two teams have got the majority of the wins so far this seasonMichielveedeebee said:
1LEIPHEIMER Levi OPQ 26h32'55"
2CONTADOR VELASCO Alberto SAX 46"
3DIAZ Daniel Ricardo SLU 01'30"
4SCHUMACHER Stefan CWO 01'34"
5NIBALI Vincenzo LIQ 01'50"
Not much change in gc.
I think schumacher will be relatively happy with his fourth but would have probably gone in, hoping for a podium as he wont get many more chances this season

Like Greipel and Farrar at Gent-Wevelgem last year?
I never lost faith in Boonen's speed, it's all the rest I lost faith in.
tbh Farrar was left by himself after Hushovd got dropped/lost and was much to isolated in the sprint whilst Greipel positioned himself on mondory's wheel for some strange reason and from then on had no chance. Besides for Bennatti they were the only proper sprinters in that group.El Pistolero said:
Yet I would agree that Boonen is greatly underrated as a sprinter
Anyone know why Diaz was awarded the same time as Boonen? it looks like finished at least 44 seconds behind...
