Seven days after winning his record-tying third Tour of Flanders title, Tom Boonen used Easter Sunday to firmly cement his place as arguably the greatest rider in cobblestone history. Without Fabian Cancellara in the field to steal some of the attention, Boonen placed his wheel on the line in Compiègne alongside the other 199 starters as the one rider everyone else would be watching.

They are two men with disparate goals. One is a time-trial legend, the only man ever to don the rainbow stripes of the world TT champion four times.

Cycling is unique in that the climax of its season comes not at the end of the season but dead center in the heart of the calendar. It isn’t the Tour Down Under in January or the Giro di Lombardia in October that the top riders of the road dream about. No, it is the sunflowers dotting French countryside in July that captivates the imagination, the high Alpine and Pyrenean passes that separate the contenders from the pretenders.
