In 2010 Boonen, seeking his third win, attacked with Fabian Cancellara 45 km (28 mi) from the finish. Boonen was favourite to win, but could not keep up with Cancellara's high-paced attack on the Muur van Geraardsbergen. The Swiss time trial specialist powered on in the final 16 km (9.9 mi) to his first win.[60]
