We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Boonen got boxed in or he'd have taken it. Great finish

With Cancellara out this was the best possible outcome IMO.

That may be so but I'm Flemish so I only accept Boonen, Van Avermaet, Vanmarcke and Cancellara as classics winners.

I'd have been happy with any of the top 5 winning since they all tried to attack on their own, all worked and all closed things down. No-one was a passenger there.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Hayman got dropped too like 15km or so out. He miraculously caught up, sat behind the whole way, went for an attack at like 2km but got caught, then won the bunch sprint.

Boonen taking it like a champ, I half expected tears. I guess half the reward is in beating Spartacus.

Is Boonen really going to retire or is it more of a "It's coming but I don't want to say when exactly" kind of thing?

He'll retire next year now after trying again, but if he won this he'd probably have stopped tomorrow.

His contract at etixx is up this year and not getting renewed. So it's more a case of if he can go anywhere else.

He might reconsider given that a guy older than him just took the win on his 15th participation. Maybe once that skull has had another year to heal.

I refer you to the above, where you can see Sagan wheelie over Cancellaras bike then do an endo for the rear.
