Patrick Lefevere says he has never seen Tom Boonen so disappointed as he was after finishing third in the World Championships road race on Sunday.
“This was his last World Championships, his last chance," said Lefevere, who has managed the Belgian at the QuickStep squad for almost the entirety of his career.
“He put everything into this race, had really counted on it. And then it didn’t happen,” he told nieuwsblad.be.

“In thirteen, fourteen years, I’ve never seen Tom so disappointed.”
Lefevere admitted that it was “perhaps” too much for Boonen, going up against Peter Sagan and Mark Cavendish in the sprint finish on Doha's Pearl island.
“Tom was also a bit early in second position. But given the circumstances, it was very difficult to make more out it,” he said, adding that Sagan, who made it back-to-back world titles, is "the best rider in the world".
