    Just not a Boonen fan. Whines too much and doesn't have the class to congratulate a teammate when they do well.

    :?: Have you got an example? I remember when Steegmans won that one Tour stage as Tom's lead out man. THAT must have been humiliating. Personally I have always been a huge Flecha fan. Wish he'd win a big one!!

    He said that he gifted that stage to Steegmans.

    As a non-Tom-hater (I agree with the ladies that he's a good lookin' dude), it looked like he didn't have the legs to get around Steegmans that day anyway. Not that it matters because he can date 16 year olds regardless of whether he gets a stage win or not. :)

    He's the darling of Belgium so I suspect the team forces him to say he gifted it to Steegmans. I agree with you he couldn't get around him that day. :?: Can't win every day but the team wants you to look like the generous team leader when you fail.IMO.

    If you look at every finish line photo when one of Boonens team mates won instead of him, his arms are up in celebration in the background.
