This doesn't mean the riders get it any easier; there will be 26 cobblestone stretches, making a total distance of 54.7km, two kilometres more than in 2004. This edition was run under clear skies and relatively good weather. In the previous Sunday's Tour of Flanders, Tom Boonen launched a surprise attack on his adversaries, surprising those who expected him to wait until the finale to launch his sprint. This time, Boonen patiently waited for the final group of three (with George Hincapie and Juan Antonio Flecha) to enter the velodrome together. Then he easily outsprinted the other riders in the final lap.
