Tom Boonen

Boonen won Paris-Roubaix four times and Flanders three times between 2005 and 2012, equalling the cobbled records. A big rider who could sprint, he won either by surviving the cobbles with the leaders or, in his 2012 Roubaix, by riding away alone with over 50 km left. The clearest modern case for Roubaix suiting heavier riders.
