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

Cancellara proves two things again:
He's a machine.
His team can't do jack to support his ambitions.

The sad part about it is he's going to kill it for Andy in the TTT in July.

I can't wait for all the Cancellara's trash bashing on Garmin

Really, he has no complaint. If Van Summeren would have finished 5th, he would have a point. The fact that he won it says all it needs to about Garmin not helping him make the front group. In fact, his finish getting 2nd shows that it would have been stupid for them to significantly help him (though at times it was hard to tell whether they were or not).

The Canc is 2nd, 3rd, and 2nd in consecutive monuments.

I wouldn't like to be his hotel room this evening.

 

[cineteq]

Nah, if he hadn't been stupid when he was off the front with Hushovd and Ballan he might have won today.

No way...that was way too far...the effort would have been too much...
Glad he cut his losses and got 2nd!!!

Bak, rider of the day.

 

[spalco]

Cancellara being a sporting loser this time it seems.

Happy for VS...but Fabu's still my man!

And that makes the rider that swaps teams regardless....what?

Too easy to blame just the team here.

+1

Even though many of us find it hard to acknowledge "wheel-sucking", we gotta admit it was justified. Amazing ride from Vansummeren, absolutely deserving!

Hats off to all of top5!

 

[Wergeland]

Great win or Van Summeren. Perfect teamtactics by Garmin.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

**** off van summeren didn't just win this

again, hushovd had a teammate up front, who happened to win the race. why would he work to catch him?

You wouldn't. Some people don't seem to understand that simple fact. (obviously you do)

Because today he wasn't beaten by his ex team.

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Canc is really taking it easy for the guy who has all the right in the world to be angry.

 

[Bala Verde]

nice gesture from Spartacus when he saw JvS

Well derserved by Van Summeren, but not by his team.

Diva or not, hats off to Cancellara.

yes, and a very nice congratulations from Canc to Van Summeren... looked like he was saying: you did it, i couldn't... all with a true smile on his face.

 

[sktooo]

feel bad for fabian...Riding with bunch of pu$$y in peloton, nobody willing to work and bring down the break..

 

[Epicycle]

Most interesting Flanders/Roubaix in a while. Both races were very tactical.

 

[luckyboy]

lol, guy on Eurosport - "Vansummeren wasn't one of the big four on the Garmin team"

Yep. I think that was the difference this year. His team wasn't strong enough to control matters.

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

again, hushovd had a teammate up front, who happened to win the race. why would he work to catch him?

Nobody said he should. But neither should Canc.

 

[sublimit]

Vansummeren deserved that by aggresive riding so well done to him.
Hushovd was lame so I'm glad he didnt win. He even got burned off by an HTC rider at the end.

 

[Granville57]

Great team win for Garmin-Cervelo.

The defining race of the Spring Classics.

AWESOME!!!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Tjallingii podium!!!!!!

[luckyboy]

Poor Tommeke
