    For – Tom Boonen is awesome in the Classics
    Against – He is having a mare

    So do I put him in? 😕

    Hmmmm! It’s a shame there
    Hmmmm! It’s a shame there isn’t another semi-classic before Gent-Wevelgem which might indicate form. Drat, something maybe on Friday would be ideal. Even better if it was a race that Boonen had won before. Eeeeeeee! 3 days without a race to follow is just too much! Oh well, you’ll just have to guess!

    Since 2006, if Boonen wins the overall, he also wins Flanders, Roubaix or both.

    If he doesn’t win Qatar, he doesn’t win either.

    Not to be taken as an omen for Cav since the rule doesn’t hold for just *any* Quick Step rider; Wilfried Kretskens won Qatar in 2007 and nothing since…

    My mind is gonna go crazy for the rest of week now 😕 So do I go for an out and out sprinter instead or an allround kind of guy 😕 He has to stay in my purist

    I’m leaving Boonen well alone
    I’m leaving Boonen well alone – if he has a good Flanders I’ll bring him in for Roubaix, but there are enough other top guys on form that I’m happy with my team without him. Seems crazy though, without the injury he’d surely be the first name on everyone’s list!

    Or, yes. Depends if you see Cavendish going for the title that still eludes him.
