Cancellara group including eventual stage winner Tom Boonen before Fabian put everyone in the gutter and on the rivet. Stage 4, Tour of Qatar.

I’m happy to see that Boonen is back to winning. But it’s hard to see how he will win the bigger races. He’s too balanced between a rouleur and a sprinter. He can’t beat Cancellara in the hardman races. He can’t beat Cavendish in a flat sprint race. Gilbert has clearly eclipsed Boonen as the premier Belgian racer. It’s an easy bet, but I see Cavendish, Cancellara, and Gilbert cleaning up all the Spring races, the flat to medium mountain stages of the Tour, the Olympics, and the World Championships.
That said, I have been surprised!
