Tom Boonen dodged questions about if this year's Paris-Roubaix will be the last time he will race on the famous pavé of northern France, insisting he is focused on Sunday and confident he challenge Peter Sagan, Fabian Cancellara and anyone else.
Boonen held court in the Omega Pharma headquarters near Gent, the parent company of Etixx. His teammates for Sunday sat near him but most of the questions were for the four-time winner of Paris-Roubaix. He handled the questions as smoothly as he rides over the pavé, including the question about his eventual retirement.
"There's an equal chance it will be that it will be my last and that it won't be my last," he said.

Boonen revealed more about his need to be methodical about his preparation for Paris-Roubaix. He likes to do things right, do things one step at a time and build for the big day, ensuring everything is in place.
"I'm more relaxed now because everything that needed to be done is done. I'm really happy the ways things went in the last few weeks," he said explained.
"A victory in Flanders would have been better. We didn't win but the team is very strong, we're a good group. I'm at the start of Paris-Roubaix with no real injuries and that's a long time since that happened."
