At the Tour de Flanders Hincapie, admittedly, made a tactical mistake by staying too far back from Boonen. This time he stayed with him.

Two or three years ago when Boonen was on USPS and working for Hincapie at PR, Boonen was the stronger rider then. He was the stronger rider today.

By comparison, Bobby Julich should have been aggressive years ago when he came in third in the TDF, but he was passive. And hasn't succeeded until joining a team with a super agressive DT in B. Riis.

Hincapie needs to be much more aggressive in these races. Its about mental toughness. He has the quality.
