109th Paris-Roubaix. The Hell of the North.

[For The World]

Well I'll gladly eat my words. That gap dropped pretty quickly.

 

[Publicus]

Eh. As far as i know, Vaitkus was the designated leader for this race from the get go.

Davis is just happy it's all over now:

(this pic just in)

He looks like sh*t, and happy to be in the car

 

[Ferminal]

Whoa, they just got back 30"

Same creative timing system from last week?

 

[Granville57]

Thor don't need no road.

 

[mulletCobra]

Where is Muzzin?

 

[spalco]

Cancellara will have to do something magical to win this imo.

 

[Jamsque]

Thor has 2 team-mates in the break once they catch it.

Flecha is getting no help in the chase, I think his race is over.

 

[Cobblestoned]

If Cancellara doesn't close the gap, I think vanSummeren will put hammer down early to avoid sprinting with Roelands.
But Cooke looking good too.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

What a duel !!!!!

Cancellara vs 2 wheelsuckers. What a duel.

Yeah Thor's got him by the balls.

 

[Publicus]

Does Garmin have 2 riders in the front group????

 

[AussieGoddess]

down to 25 seconds

 

[vcampbell]

Ok, this time Hushovd has a reason to wheelsuck. Good tactic, but don't wheelsuck all the way.

Then it's gonna be a reason again for Cancellara if he will not win.

 

[El Pistolero]

I want a Belgian victory!

 

[zapata]

Does Garmin have 2 riders in the front group????

yes, rasch and vansummeren

 

[woodie]

God I hope they don't just wheel suck Canc

 

[jaylew]

Front group attacking. Canc group will surely catch now.

Yea, all he gets by catching the group is tired and more teammates for his rivals. I think we could see someone from the break win this now.

 

[Cobblestones]

Front group doesn't look too organized atm.

hope for degenkolb, in that case

 

[Ferminal]

Hopefully some of these break guys have legs to make it more interesting.

 

[palmerq]

poor old cancellara everyone really does just follow him :S

 

[AussieGoddess]

he can do it on his own ... doesnt need team mates.

did it in his own last year

Bit worried about Ballan though - he looks pretty comfortable

 

[Anonymous]

God I hope they don't just wheel suck Canc

Why would they do anything else? Thor and Ballan have teammates up the road, and if Canc wants to win, he is going to have to go and win it. All they need to do is suck his wheel. That's what Canc gets for moving to a weak classics team.

Front group doesn't look too organized atm.

Front group riders are waiting for Canc, Thor & Ballan.
