    I think they are and I think its due to the reported lack of and or slowing of the amount of doping going on. If you look outside the Tour at one day races such as Paris Roubaix and Milan San Remo, you can compare Boonen and Cavendish times and see that are slightly slower than a lot of previous winners. All that with modern sports drinks, foods and huge advances in frame technology and staggeringly large advances in wheel/tyre design.
