2005 Tour Of Flanders

Code: RD205C

With one dramatic and decisive win in the 2005 Tour de Flanders, 24-year-old Belgian Tom Boonen catapultes himself big time into the Classics pantheon. In a ferocious duel pitting youth against experience and raw courage against cold calculation (and almost obscuring the fact this race also featured Lance Armstrong in the last event of his last-ever spring as a professional bike rider), Boonen forges a superb ride into sporting history on some of the most daunting terrain cycling can offer. Will Tom Boonen become a worthy successor to all-time one-day racing superstars Sean Kelly and Johan Museeuw, or perhaps even outstrip them? Judge for yourself when you view this meticulously crafted account of one of the great sporting events of 2005.”
