No, he's becoming a Museeuw-like sprinter. at the end of a hard mostly power climbing ride he can
still sprint. -

Well he was always fast, but never into bunch sprinting. In the stages where he got 3rd and 5th
there was more in it, but he was coming from much too far. He's learning a lot on positioning. An
experienced pilot would be wonderful though. -

fun for the Belgians, a la Steels for eaxample. They don't seem to manufacture them as often as
in the past.Andre Janssens

Boonen has shown he is capable of much more than merely being a pure sprinter.
For the Cobbled Classics, he's going to be the whole package. Riding the break, riding solo,
sprinting. -
And with the current drug problems in Belgium they wont be "manufacturing " any for a while
