But if Vanmarcke wins one when Boonen's absent, the naysayers will start the "but he didn't beat Boonen..."
I'm just hoping for some decent races in the next month.

haha, true
MSR is looking very good, will be interesting to see if Cav a) makes it b) has the legs for the sprint. There's so many people that could win it depending on how it pans out

I think both Vanmarcke's and Boonen's issue right now is they are both shaping races, but not winning them. Vanmarcke may be the most powerful rider out there, but is he the cleverest? He has to prove he can win.

Agree, he's had a pretty torrid couple of years, but he's not shown any real promise elsewhere, not the sort that would deserve the level of backing he's had in the classics, over the rest of team.
Still, means Vanmarcke has a higher chance of a monument win, and we all want that :)
