Re: Re:

How could anyone not be happy if Boonen wins this?

I just have a massive (irrational) dislike for that team

Race has smashed to pieces, this could be a great couple of hours.

 

[PremierAndrew]

This is an amazing race so far. Best dry edition in a long time

Re:

I would not complain if Tony Martin just rode away from them all.

 

[robin440]

clever from etixx letting tony martin do the donkey work with 180 to go when he is that strong

Re:

Nice set up for an exciting race. Hopefully Sagan and Cancellara get back though.

No way, I want to see the Martin/Boonen/Vanmarcke group bridge up

 

[jsem94]

Boonen making a mistake maybe. Might be alone and left to do lots of work on his own after Arenberg. Sep Vanmarcke has a very good shot at victory.

Re: Re:

Etixx do have the wrong guys in the front group.

What? They have the perfect guy there.

Stybar and Terpstra could ride longer in service for Boonen then Martin. If Boonen is continue to ride like this, he will be alone after Arenberg. It's suicide to continue that way,

Not sure about that. Etixx have a ridiculously strong team and they need to use that to isolate Cancellara early. If it comes back together they will still have Terpstra, Stybar, Trentin and Boonen - while Canc will have used up all his team-mates in the chase. Sagan would also be isolated and there would be a great chance of a lone rider going clear towards the end - like Terpstra in 2014 - no-one would want to close him down.

Yeah duh it's better to also have Styby and Terpstra there. But Boonen is the top favourite to win Roubaix now.

100km final, this is epic

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Entertaining situation, but it would be best to have the two strongest riders battle it out. Hopefully Sagz and Fabian get back

Not sure about that. Chavanel hasn't taken a single turn on the stones and he's got Hayman, Popo, Erviti and Cort for company. He needs to be caught.

 

[trevim]

Nice memorie for Popovych's farewell

 

[TMP402]

Chavanel slight dig.

 

[42x16ss]

Wow Durbridge. Maybe he's going to finally step up

 

[TMP402]

The group Martin managed to split up - are they still in between him and Sagan, or have they rejoined Sagan?

 

[Flamin]

Rabo retards. 6 guys and they still manage to get dropped with 5, including the leader.

 

[phil-i-am]

Is that Cance pulling the Sagan group? Can't see a numer

 

[Rollthedice]

About a minute between Boonen group and Canc group.

 

[Flamin]

Incredible race!

ahahhah true

They're putting time into Sagan/Cance and gaining on the break. There's some firepower there - EBH, Durbridge, Vanmarcke, Stannard for company

 

[rehy90]

Styby gone

 

[kingjr]

1 minute for boonen to sagan and cancellara

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

What an awesome race so far
