Tom Boonen went into the Tour of Flanders looking for his third victory, but instead had to accept second place behind Fabian Cancellara. “Of course I'd rather win,” the Quick Step rider said. “But Fabian is currently in one of the best periods of his life.” However he will look to reverse the result in Paris-Roubaix, which he said would be “a war” between Saxo Bank and Quick Step
