Boonen ain't riding unfair, he had a puncture on a non-decisive stage off the race, the others crash on a decisive stage off the race. very diffrent situation
Tell me another situation where a favorite has a problem and someone else attacks.
Only Stephen Roche did that. And the fact that Roche is universally hated outside of Ireland/UK for winning both the Giro and the Tour that way, says a lot about how this kind of thing is viewed.

Reminds me of the Armstrong and Ulrich situation years ago. (obviously that was fairer)

Any chance of that level crossing from a couple of years back saving the day and stopping Boonen? |

Correction, Ullrich and the others waited, Lance gave them a big FU and flew by them, no thanks whatsoever.

Don't know when SN posted, but when I quoted it, the TV said 9.3kms to go
EDIT: oh, I see, I said "way past". disregard that, I suck balls.
