Roger de Vlaeminck vs. Tom Boonen

Tom Boonen has returned on his former level and has had a fantastic pre-season. He also has reached records in several races he won like: Gent-Wevelgem, E3-Harelbeke, Ronde van Vlaanderen and most importantly: he won Paris-Roubaix 4 times now, as much as Roger de Vlaeminck!!

Roger de Vlaeminck (who has won a lot more races than Boonen (cyclocross, Paris-Nice, Milan-San-Remo etc.) said, directly after the race last sunday, that the solo of Boonen was easy because his opponents were so weak. But in my opinion that arguement makes no sense because it was the 5th fastest Paris-Roubaix in cycling history! So when all those 'weak opponents' were on their way to their hotels, de Vlaeminck would have reached roubaix!

P.M. a moderator, they'll move it to the appropriate section, or post your message again in the right section and topic.

According to Wikipedia it was the 5th, not the second fastest race, do you have another source?

The Belgian commentators said it was the second fastest but that was just a few moments after the race so that must have been a mistake, but it makes the argument of de vlaeminck look stupid anyway
