Etixx-QuickStep manager Patrick Lefevere has told Cyclingnews that Tom Boonen should immediately announce his retirement if he wins Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, going out on top, with a unique record of five victories in professional cycling’s toughest Classic.
“Everybody has to decide things like this for themselves. But if I was Tom and I won Paris-Roubaix, I know what I’d do: I’d retire immediately. I’d go out at the top, via the front door,” Lefevere said.
Boonen laughed when Cyclingnews told him what his long-time boss had said, dismissing the idea. But he also dropped a veiled hint that he has started to think about when his career will eventually end. However, he denied that any decision had been made.

“We’ll see…. Of course it’s a thought in my mind,” Boonen said
“But I always think that it’s not true when people say they’ve thought about a big decision in life for six months or something. I think the decision will happen in a second. The moment is there and you say: 'Boom!' And that’s it.”
