Boonen: Splainin' To Do

What happened to Boonen during Flanders?

The press is reporting that he crashed heavily and hurt his wrist. It's being said that he was badly hurt and couldn't put any pressure on the arm afterwards. This could begin to explain his poor performance, (12th-ed.) but only if he were anybody else.

Staf Scheirlinckx? Wow buddy! Super nice ride!

Whats that, Björn Leukemans? Your hurt your wittle wist? And still came in twelfth? Bravo!

But Tom Mother Fucking Boonen? Come on man! You're supposed brush that shit off.

You're supposed to be able to have a horrific crash, one where you land on your two front teeth, lose a few fingers in the spokes, proceed to brush yourself off, jump back on the bike, rip off the injured arm, hit Leif Hoste across the face with it a few times, fix your hair and go on to attack on the Paterberg. And then win.

So, what really happened to Tom? We welcome reader explanations below.
