Yeah, I like the guy. A lot. He's won some big races throughout his short years in the pro ranks, I'm sure he'll be winning more. I mean, he could retire now, and never have to purchase another beer for himself ever in Belgium. Nice jersey, that’s a keeper. Yeah, I like the guy. A lot.

A world championship on the road A couple of Rondes A few PRs E3 wins Tour of Belgium Tour Green Jersey KBK A Velo d'Or And bear in mind, he's still only 28, so plenty of time to fill out the rest. No doubt though, Roger is a bad ass. Don't get me wrong. Jonny,

Boonen is well on his way to surpassing Roger.

A world championship on the road
A couple of Rondes
A few PRs
E3 wins
Tour of Belgium
Tour Green Jersey
KBK
A Velo d’Or

And bear in mind, he’s still only 28, so plenty of time to fill out the rest. No doubt though, Roger is a bad ass. Don’t get me wrong.

I love me some Tom Boonen in an admiration kind of way. He seems like a genuinely nice fella, and he has flaws. I like that about him. The fact that he can ride a bike that well, and still parties like a rock star (on occasion) makes me like him even a little more. Gents, don’t get me wrong.

No doubt- he rode hard as hell all day. Being off the front is the best way to avoid crashes, even in a six-man break. He earned it, straight up. “Boonen is a machine.”
