Oh man, there is an evil part of me that loves it when this happens. Especially when a guy I am a fan of wins it. Today at the Scheldeprijs Vlaanderen, my friend Tom Boonen fresh off of his Roubaix win, started his celebration a bit too early. He obviously wasn’t counting on Mark Cavendish blowing by him in the last few meters. It was very reminiscent of Zabel’s early celebration at Milan-San Remo in 2004. Although Zabel’s pose was much more entertaining.
On a separate note, I thought it was pretty cool to see McEwen and Cavendish on the podium together. It’s kind of like seeing past and present versions of the same guy. Time will tell if Cav is up to the challenge, he definitely has a similar style to McEwen, let’s hope he gets the results too!
